Photo by Dagmara. Courtesy of Green Linnet Records Born in Chicago to Irish parents, Liz Carroll was a natural at the fiddle right from the start. At age 18, she amazed the Celtic music world by winning the All-Ireland Senior Championship. Raised in the close-knit South side Irish community, she learned the fiddle from her father and other older Irish musicians, tagging along with him to Irish “session” where such respected musicians as fiddler Johnny McGreevy and pianist Eleanor (Kane) Neary could be found. She wrote her first tune at age nine.An original member of the group Cherish the Ladies, Liz has performed with artists ranging from the late virtuoso violinist Yehudi Menuhin to rock musician Don Henley. She has also performed with the String Sisters (with fellow fiddlers Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh of Altan, Natalie Mac Master, Catriona MacDonald from Scotland, Annbjørg Lien of Norway and American Liz Knowles). The National Endowment for the Arts awarded Liz the National Heritage Fellowship, the country’s top honor for the traditional arts, in 1994. In 1999, Chicago’s Mayor Richard M. Daley named September 19th “Liz Carroll Day,” during the Chicago Celtic Festival. Liz Carroll can be contacted at the following address: Liz Carroll Official Web Site: http://www.lizcarroll.com |
