About Collins & Vocke

This duo brings a fresh take to both Irish and Old-Time music, pairing traditional fiddle melodies with two-fingered banjo. Drawing inspiration from the Celtic traditions that Sarah grew up with in Boston and the old-time and folk scene that Jonathan and now Sarah calls home in Baltimore, the pair explores the space at the intersection of these musical styles. The music they create together is first and foremost about groove, and plays with the balance of lightness, sensitivity, and grounding. Based in Baltimore, the pair regularly performs at the Maryland Renaissance Festival, the Boston Celtic Music Festival, and at various venues and events in the DC/Baltimore area.
