Chris Thile is a renowned mandolin player and a founding member of the progressive bluegrass trio Nickel Creek with Sara Watkins and Sean Watkins. Thile began recording his first solo album in 1993, with most songs of his own composition. After two more solo albums of all original material, he teamed with mandolin master Mike Marshall for a stunning album of duets called Into the Cauldron, which included forays into jazz, world music, and Bach. In 2004 Chris released Deceiver, a departure from his earlier work which contained a variety of pop/rock/folk influenced vocal numbers.

Though she learnt Welsh as a second language, Cardiff-born Heather Jones has been one of the leading lights of the Welsh-language music scene since the 1970s. Her voice is crystalline and yet warm and she is at home in rockier music as in 'pure' folk.
