Stepwise is a high-energy Celtic folk group featuring the swift rhythmic guitar playing of "DADGAD"-specialist Liam Lewis, the articulate hand percussion of All-Ireland champion bones and bodhran player James Yoshizawa, and the smooth ornamented fiddling of Olivia Breidenthal. The three Los Angeles natives have built a following playing festivals, concerts, and contradances up and down the west coast. Notable performances have been Davis Hall in Fairbanks, Alaska, the Glenlo Abbey in Ireland, and the Lodge Room in Los Angeles. Whether it is fast paced fiddle tunes or singing delicate harmonies, Stepwise is a perfect blend for traditional music lovers and newcomers alike. Visit: Stepwise Stepwise on Instagram and Facebook
