Multi-instrumentalist Brigid Kaelin has been a guest on NPR's A Prairie Home Companion, was a semi-finalist on Nashville Star, has played accordion, musical saw, and sung with Elvis Costello many times, tours Europe at least once a year, yet remains a staple performer and utility player in the Louisville music scene. Her new album, Those Who Drift Away, is a "rollicking ride through folk history." Brigid also writes the blog, The Red Accordion Diaries, where she overshares her adventures in music, travel, whisky, and motherhood. Louisville, Kentucky, is home ... for now. This will be Brigid's 7th UK tour, though she has also toured there playing accordion for Adam Holmes & the Embers and Kirsty McGee and even Elvis Costello. Touring as a duo with Steve Cooley, Brigid will be in the UK in support of her 3rd full-length album, produced and recorded by Steve on his houseboat on the banks of the Ohio River.
