Dvorak is a product of a prolific and distinguished musical family; in fact, if you recognize his famous surname, he is in fact a distant relative of the composer Antonin Dvorak.

Dvorak was born in 1974 in Brno, Czechoslovakia (a country which no longer exists). At the age of 6, his family was forced to flee, at first to Yugoslavia, then to Austria, and eventually to Canada. Growing up in Vancouver, Dvorak was introduced to a helping of American country and bluegrass. Springsteen-esque rock led to Tom Petty-inspired twang; fast-forward through a stint in the Roots and Americana musical cauldron of Brooklyn, and Dvorak found himself in Houston, Texas, where he encountered his two main collaborators on Holding Pattern, and .dbass. The album was recorded at Niles City Studio in Ft. Worth with producer who also plays piano, and Jordan Richardson rounds out the studio band on drums.

But at that moment, as was becoming a pattern for Dvorak, a major political event shifted his course. “The election hit me really hard. We were in such a state of shock that literally the next day I decided to book the studio time and put the songs together that expressed how I felt, as an American, as a Texan, and especially as an immigrant who came to this country to escape the same kind of darkness that’s now growing roots on this side of the ocean.”

Holding Pattern is a powerful statement by an artist with a strong sense of past, and an earned trepidation about the future. It’s more than just a collection of nine finely-crafted, brilliantly performed songs. It’s an essential statement, at a terrifying moment in the history of the nation and the world.

A contemporary collage of Scottish and American traditional music, Hildaland is a duo that approaches geographic borders as markers of exploration rather than boundaries to be wary of. Fiddle player Louise Bichan, originally from Orkney, Scotland, and mandolinist Ethan Setiawan, originally from Goshen, Indiana, have taken their duo from traditional Scottish roots through to progressive bluegrass and jazz, with instrumental tunes inspired largely by places and the journeys between them, both physical and musical. Their new EP, Fiddle Tunes, finds them focused on the many possibilities of context for the international language of fiddle tunes.

Now available from — ’s gorgeous new album One Year Since, available as a CD and digital download from the Bandcamp link in bio and story.

The duo first appeared together at the Boston Celtic Music Festival in 2023. Since then, they have transformed their musical friendship into a creative collaboration, recording an album that blends American Old-Time, Irish, and other folk traditions with original tunes. Their music weaves cello and fiddle lines into tightly arranged tunes, enriched by warm vocal harmonies.

Recorded in December 2024 in Portland, Oregon, One Year Since was produced by the duo themselves, alongside engineer Mike Doolin, with additional engineering and mixing by Dylan McKinstry (Greenpoint Recording Co.), and mastering by David Glasser (Airshow Mastering).
The release features standout original tracks such as “Goodbye Ruby,” written in memory of Kate’s trusty Subaru, and the title track “One Year Since,” a tune born from rediscovery of a forgotten pandemic voice memo. Traditional inspiration intertwines with modern tunes, including a homage tune for Kate’s fiddle, “Fiddle in the Attic.”

Throughout the album, Kate’s fiddle, shruti box, and voice meet Brendan’s cello, guitars, and vocals in vibrant interplay. Special guest collaborators include on mandolin, on Bass, on foot percussion, Neil Perlman on piano and on guitar.

“It doesn’t get any groovier than Kate and Brendan playing together,” says acclaimed fiddler of Tall Poppy Stringband. “If you get the chance to get in between their musical-mind-meld with your ears, do it.”
