Bio
String Cheese is the electrifying combination of Diana Ladio on Fiddle and Ali Haraburda on Cello. With their feel-good melodies and foot-stomping, rock-influenced rhythms, these girls have put a fresh, enticing spin on Celtic music. While the two can light up the stage, they can also be found in classrooms throughout Michigan and beyond, where they spend much time introducing alternative styles of music to high school and middle school string programs, and preaching the importance of non-classical music in youth music education. The girls can also be found in the front line of Grand Rapid's well-known Irish rock experience- Craic Wisely.(www.craicwisely.com) Though they stay busy, String Cheese always welcomes new performance opportunities and new friends. They can be reached through this site, or at stringcheesemusic@gmail.com ...... .. ......Business or Individual in need of a Twitter Makeover? ..Custom Twitter Backgrounds.................. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. "The girls of the duo String Cheese are opening the Saturday concerts with their signature brand of folk rock heavily steeped in the Celtic music tradition. With only a cello and a fiddle, the sparse arrangements are free to roam to wherever the music takes it. The Ann Arbor-based Ali Haraburda (cello, piano) and Diana Ladio (fiddle, guitar) are equally comfortable playing renaissance festivals, bars, or classrooms." -Evan Riddell of the Western Herald .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
