such as Blowzabella and Old Swan Band, loves to perform with her sister Fi
Fraser who plays fiddle and clarinet - Jo is on saxes, clarinets,
whistles, and piano. Their playing brings freshness to many dance
rhythms and their singing has that wonderful texture that you only get
when siblings sing together. They have a wonderful range of diverse
material, singing anything from Tom Waits to a traditional ballad or comic
song.
