Music
Katie Trautz (www.katietrautz.com) is a native Vermont fiddler who has toured nationally and internationally sharing traditional music and original folk songs."It's almost hard to believe that Vermont folk music heroine Katie Trautz and her musical partner Julia Wayne have been performing as a duo for 15 years. These two talented young women simply don't seem old enough for that. The sound that these longtime musical buddies have created on Sweet Is the Morning, their third album as Mayfly, is mature and solid. It showcases not only their deep roots in Vermont traditional fiddling, plaintive vocalizing and harmony singing but also their understanding and love of Southern folk music." - Robert Resnik, VPR, All the Traditions, Sevendays Magazine
