INNISFREE is a Chicago-based group who have enjoyed exploring Celtic and Appalachian folk music for the past ten years. Second place winners in "Ensemble Arrangements" at the Chicago all city Irish Competition ("Fleadh Cheoil") for two years in a row, their music has been enjoyed from coffeehouses to cathedrals, and from historical re-enactments to folk festivals.

Their innovative arrangements blend Celtic, country and classical elements of Traditional tunes into a seamless whole. The group includes Kathy Folkerts on flute, tin whistles, guitar and vocals; Bobbi Hurst on hammered and lap dulcimers, tin whistles and recorders; Tony Janacek on guitar, mandolin, and vocals; Angie Kieltyka on hammered dulcimer, and bodhran; Ken Kieltyka on lap dulcimer and percussion; and Lynn Malnekoff on violin and viola. Innisfree can provide an ensemble from three to seven pieces for a variety of events including weddings, private parties, public appearances and educational performances.
