Caitlin Vitale-Sullivan

Wild Hog in the Woods concert. $2 members, $4 non-members, plus tips to the performer(s).

media release: Growing up in the high desert wilderness of Idaho, Caitlin Vitale-Sullivan developed a love of nature and of music. Time spent in Norway as a Rotary Exchange student led to an interest in folk music around the world. She was able to blend her interests when she received a Fulbright grant that enabled her to travel to Sweden, where she studied the connection between Kulning, (Swedish cow-calling music) and landscape.

In her youth, Caitlin was classically trained as a violinist. This training, and her interest in Swedish and Norwegian music led her to receive a Madfolk/Schneyer scholarship to receive instruction on playing the Hardanger d'Amore, a unique fiddle that includes five drone strings. Caitlin's performance at the Wild Hog is sure to be entertaining as well as informative.
