 The Pannings -- Roween and David, and their children Luke, Eve,
and Josiah -- specialize in a variety of music including classical to driving
fiddle tunes in with Appalachian, Celtic and folk music roots. Their diverse
instrumentation includes fiddles, guitar, string bass, mandolin, hammer
dulcimer, and percussion via spoons, bones, djembe, and Eve's dancing
feet. Teen siblings, Luke, Eve,
and Josiah all began classical instruction in strings and piano at age 6. In addition, folk musicians and
fiddlers mentored them.
