Brittany Haas & Lauren Rioux - "Gray Owl / Red & White & Blue & Gold" - Live at Empty Sea

[@fox5411]

Brittany , an inspired performance from you and Lauren, great hearing you again after many years. Bebe and miss seeing you!

[@KenNorian]

Does anyone else have a KZbin experience where you serially listen to/watch a song dozens of times? This is one of them. When I love something I listen to it and watch it till it gets burned into my brain. For better or worse - into everyone else's in the house as well! Love it.

[@poopoo-gs7im]

I have watched this vid about 65+ times, over 3 years. It is the gold standard of new grass fiddle tunes, no doubt.

[@danielross5064]

yep i was just thinking the same thing. Wehave a fiddle fiddle festival in Brittany and i would love to have these two over one day.

[@mlbshiver]

yeah, this is among the prettiest things i've ever heard. it doesn't get any better.

[@moonmunster]

Yes. But I will throw a curve ball at you all. I've watched the Cab Calloway/Nicholas Bros. performance of Jumpin' Jive from the movie Stormy Weather many, many times. I am amazed each time. I know, I'm a music schitzo… query in youtube on Cab Calloway and Jumpin' Jive. You will find it.

[@delavan9141]

Love Brittany's voice, never heard her sing before. Listening to this for about the tenth time in a row as I'm working remotely at 10:30 pm on a beautiful warm Sunday night in Pereira Colombia.

[@AdamSpiers]

OMG yes Britt, you need to sing more - that was amazing!!

[@ozzyosbourn177]

So glad I found this, I just had a very profound moment yesterday and came looking for a certain kind of music, this is it. How absolutely frickin beautiful can anything in this world be. I now realize I have spent my entire life with the wrong people doing the wrong things. I am absolutely certain that you can not play such amazing and beautiful music unless you are an amazing beautiful person. Thanks.

[@leighcecil3322]

Please some more ladies... magnifique 🇦🇺🍻😎

[@nateldredge9538]

Beautiful song. Brittany should sing more often. Wonderful.

[@robinfiddler1]

I also listen to it over and over and over. i get it.

[@iamsaconley]

Brittany Haas-i would like to hear you sing more!

[@stephenriddell9366]

What a show gals!

[@2ridesafe]

Absolutely beautiful! I could listen to this over and over again

[@LilyViolaMandola]

I’ve been looking for well played viola fiddling. This is the closest to that. . 5 string viola and a 5 stringed violin in one video. Fabulous! ❤️❤️❤️

[@LivGreene]

love the rendition of R&W&B&G.. its really nice with a banjo!!

[@captbanjo1]

Going to see these two tomorrow along with Tim O'Brien for a Christmas show. Can't say I was familiar with them but now I'm excited! Great fiddling, singing and I LOVE that simple and pretty banjo picking!

[@squeezethewheeze]

love these ladies

[@RoelFlash]

This is too beautiful.

[@olivier.st-amand]

Amazing! Simply amazing!

[@TheOldFolkster]

Yes. For the "Red and white ..." and "Black and blue ..." verses the sequence is: F C Dm F C Dm F C (final C is omitted at the very end of the song). For the "Come on ..." verses the sequence is: C G Dm C F G. Banjo is in double C tuning (gCGCD), but tuned down one-half step so it sounds in the original key of B. Aoife plays this on the guitar in G capo 4, sounding in B. So the actual chord sequences as they sound (rather than as they are fingered) are E B C#m E B C#m E B and B F# C#m B E F#.

[@chadparker42]

This makes me happy. I'm happy now.

[@jackcrane7853]

You will be surprised, but thats what music originally was intended for!

[@salal2007]

perfect!!!

[@laggardly6201]

just wow ladies completely transcending

[@magenta6]

That was super! Come to NZ!

[@RandallJones]

Wow.

[@tdbsnr]

Absolutely gorgeous - the music & the girls. Saw Brittany at Bedford (England) 2 years ago with Crooked Still, what a great night, and got talking briefly with her afterwards, delightful. I forgot to mention to her that I am rich & single.

[@Norberto2024]

¡¡¡¡¡Extraordinario. Gracias!!!!!

[@grantharper2522]

And so, wow!

[@MisterstereoOso]

English observer : lovin it ladies 🥰🙏😊

[@MrDanimal42]

So wonderful. Can't wait to hear more soon.

[@cbcotter84]

You both are AMAZING!!! This is beautiful. I can't wait to hear you live sometime soon!

[@etparadox]

All I can find is one tunebook: Canadian Fiddle Music Volume 1

[@waltbraden9705]

I REALY WANT TO PLAY OUR BACKYARD SHIT

[@Mandolin1944]

Really cool to see a viola with a violin folk music -- it's a great sound. Just to help their memories out the "Canadian tune" Grey (not Gray) Owl was written by John Arcand of Saskatchewan. I'm wondering I assume the 5-string violin is CGDAE? So is the 5 string viola then FCGDA? Or what?

[@brittfiddle]

The 5 string violin and 5 string viola are tuned the same! They are just different body sizes. Good question!

[@robertshorthill4153]

The tune might be in G major or could be in D. Need to work it up to know for sure. Anybody, can you help me with either sheet source or something? And thanks -- great tune !

[@onlykelsey]

Does anyone have any insight into what the chords are for the O'Donovan tune?

[@waltbraden9705]

i do as well son i run 24/7

[@andeereyy]

Does anyone know where i can get ahold of sheets for gray owl?

[@AlaniSugar]

wait? how are their fiddles tuned????

[@garymok3792]

From low to high CGDAE, a regular fiddle plus a low C string.

[@JustFiddler]

you should play five strings fiddle :)

[@brianb7522]

I think they are tuned down a full step - G on the A string, and so on, but still in fifths. Listen at around 0:41 when they are tuning open strings.

[@waltbraden9705]

MOST OF DO NO DISRESPECT
