The trio of John and Ellen Gawler and daughter Molly are a fun loving family with shining smiles and joyful sounds. John and Ellen ae master fiddle and banjo players and their daughter Molly joins in to create a unique family sound. The band brings gorgeous music and high spirited sounds of string instruments (Fiddle, banjo, guitar) as well as harmony singing. Their songs and tunes are rooted in the traditional music of Maine and the Northeast.

The Gawlers will be joined on Saturday by Beck Welling, a sixteen year old fiddler from New Gloucester, Maine. Beck began taking lessons from  Ellen Gawler at the age of four and a half, and has continued his musical journey by adding an additional teacher, Scottish fiddler Seán Heely. This past fall, Beck was awarded first place in the New England Regional Junior Scottish Fiddling Championships, and will go on to compete in the national competition in September 2024.
