Chris (myspace.com/chriscarneyandfriends), Roxanne (myspace.com/roxanneoliva) and Janette have been playing in the North San Francisco bay area for the last 30 years or more with various and sundry bands and styles of music too numerous to name. Back around 1996, with a great resurgence of
Celtic music, we
decided to pool our experiences and resources so we could bring to the audience a type of Celtic music not often heard out here in the west.
The music comes from Northern Ontario,
Eastern Canada and the Maritime Provinces and beyond.
The folk songs and fiddle tunes of this region are as rich
in story and tradition as the Irish, Scottish and English, from which they came and give us an idea of how ancient
songs evolve and change over the years and miles.
Add a French Bouree, a Swedish walking tune, a Cajun or American
fiddle tune, a Polish polka, or a Macedonian folk tune and you have the
music of DOCKSIDE. email us at: knccarney@comcast.net
