艺人介绍

by Chris TrueBorn in Brooklyn, New York on May 20, 1955 to a very musical family, Tony DeMarco was a well known and well respected figure on the Irish fiddle circuit. His abilities in his particular style, that of Sligo fiddling, earned Tony a successful career, spanning more than three decades, and scoring him collaborations with such artists as Celtic Thunder, Black 47, and fellow fiddler Brian Conway. His first foray into the traditional fiddle arts came in the early Seventies, when DeMarco was a student of American folk music. Eventually, he began to delve deeper into the roots of said music, and found himself quickly falling for the Sligo style, named after the county in Ireland. By the mid point in that decade, DeMarco was there, in County Sligo, studying the style, which would lead to work with the aforementioned Conway. The fruits of their labor would be released as the Apple In Winter album in 1981. Over the years, DeMarco became a leading voice for Irish fiddle music Stateside, performing at numerous festivals, both at home and abroad, as well as performing at the Smithsonian Institute. In 2008, he released the album the Sligo Indians.
