Alex Caton
fiddle, backing vocals
Alex
grew up moving between England, Scotland and the United States. She has
been called a limey, yank, crumpet, brit and scottie which has led to
her foreigner psyche, an attachment to music of wanderers, and varied
approaches to Irish, Old Time and gypsy music. Alex has played with
many of her musical heroes, including her students, and plans on
playing with the rest of her living mentors. She has performed up and
down the east coast and on various street corners and pubs, as well as
in the United Kingdom and West Africa. She currently sings and plays
fiddle and guitar in Odd Legged Jenny and lead fiddle and vocals in the
gypsalachian group Las Gitanas. Alex has been praised for her fluid
style of fiddling and her choice of musical material; however her
all-time favorite compliment comes from a mechanic who told her that
she takes real good care of her car. She believes that nothing is more
important for music than supporting a local arts scene and teaching
traditional material.

Phil Audibert
guitar, vocals, harmonica
Phil first cut his musical teeth on the 1960’s Folk
revival movement, until the British Invasion lured him away on a
musical journey that led him from Washington DC to Argentina and
back. Since then, he has played solo and/or joined or formed a
variety of bands performing everything from Blues to Country to classic
Rock and Roll. Something of a jack of all trades (and
master of none), Phil has also been a Radio News Director, a feature
writer, a photographer, a cattle farmer, an innkeeper, and a ski
instructor. He returned to his musical roots when he formed the
Traditional Irish Music band, the Ryegrass Rollers in 2001 which
released the critically acclaimed C-D Rue the Day in 2003. Now,
he and fiddler Alex Caton have branched out to form the duo, Odd
Legged Jenny (née Crooked Road), playing music from both sides of the
Atlantic.
