 ng></p>\n<p>Two women plus ten instruments equal one good time when Simple
  Gifts takes the stage. Drawing on an impressive variety of ethnic folk st
 yles\, this award-winning duo plays everything from lively Irish jigs and 
 down-home American reels to hard-driving Klezmer frailachs and haunting Gy
 psy melodies\, spicing the mix with the distinctive rhythms of Balkan danc
 e music\, the lush sounds of Scandinavian twin fiddling\, and original com
 positions written in a traditional style.</p>\n<p>Combining tradition with
  innovation\, Simple Gifts creates some of the finest arrangements in folk
  music today: swing fiddle creeps into a Romanian dance\, spoons show up i
 n an Irish reel\, and a blues lick introduces a Klezmer melody. Based in t
 he hills of central Pennsylvania\, these women play an amazing array of in
 struments. Linda Littleton and Karen Hirshon switch with ease among fiddle
 \, mandolin\, banjo\, guitar\, guitjo\, recorders\, bowed psaltery\, hamme
 red dulcimer\, baritone fiddle\, guitar\, and percussion.</p>\n<p>Simple G
 ifts is frequently complimented on their stage presence\, which is warm\, 
 personal\, and accented with humor. These women deliver their music with r
 are intensity and contagious enthusiasm. It&rsquo\;s obvious that Simple G
 ifts loves the music they play and knows how to share their excitement wit
 h the audience. This is an act not to be missed!</p>\nhttps://sclsnj.libne
