All proceeds go to the musicians

A jazz- and folk-infused string duo, Secret Oaks formed at Rocky Mountain Fiddle Camp in 2022 in one of those rare musical experiences where, from the very first notes, it was like they’d been playing together for years. While drawing on their experience in and enjoyment of just about any style of music they can get their hands on, Caroline and Daniel present an engaging show full of original tunes steeped in tradition, as well as fresh new arrangements of traditional favorites. Come join us for a fun evening of fiddle and cello!

Caroline McCaskey

A native daughter of the genre-bending West Coast music scene, Caroline McCaskey is equally at home in the regional traditional, improvising and classical music worlds. In demand as a teacher and performer throughout North America and author of the AltStrings Fiddle Method, she holds degrees in music composition and performance, as well as Suzuki teaching certification in violin and cello. She also runs AltStringsAcademy.com, a learning community for amateur adult string players who are ready to build their technique, style, and musicianship skills. Caroline is a fiddler for the dance bands Tartan Suite, Reel of Seven and Greenwich Mean Time. She also performs regularly with Boston-based guitarist and banjo player Larry Unger. Caroline is the 2019 U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion and a two-time International Musical Saw Champion.

Daniel Delaney

Multi-style cellist Daniel Delaney is an improvisor, composer, singer-songwriter, and rhythm player. He has performed throughout the U.S. as a concerto soloist, band leader, recording artist, chamber musician, and clinician. Sought after as cello and chamber music faculty for camps and colleges across the country, he’s also the creator of the Groove Cello Academy which trains creative cellists in the art of rhythm play and jamming. Daniel has been recorded for popular projects by BeachSlang (Polyvinyl), Elvira Nikolaisen (SONY), mewithoutYou (Tooth and Nail), Twin Sister (Domino), Sun Airway (Dead Oceans), and many others. His songs and compositions have been called “cowboy music,” “hero music,” “epic,” “funky,” and “groovy.” The Philadelphia Inquirer called him a “master musician” and Broadway World a “world class cellist.”
