Caitlin Warbelow hails from a family of entrepreneurs and bush pilots in Alaska and most recently served as the violinist/fiddler in the original Broadway cast of the Tony Award-winning and Grammy Award-nominated musical, Come From Away. She is on the faculty at Manhattan's Irish Arts Center, and is the artistic coordinator for the Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival’s Celtic program. Caitlin is an instructor at the Swannanoa Gathering and the Far North Fiddle Festival, and maintains a large private teaching studio in Manhattan. When not on Broadway, Caitlin performs and tours as a solo artist, with numerous ensembles, and as a symphony soloist. She founded the new trad ensemble Warbelow Range with Kyle Sanna, Alan Murray, and Dan Lowery and co-produced their first self-titled album. Her live album of Irish trad in Manhattan pubs, Manhattan Island Sessions, was nominated for an Independent Music Award. An All-Ireland winner and New England Fiddle Champion who holds degrees from Columbia University (M.S., Urban Planning) and Boston University (B.A., Anthropology and B.Mus., Violin Performance), Caitlin's versatility and expertise lies not only in music, but also entrepreneurship, research, data analysis, writing, community organizing, and activism. Caitlin is the co-founder of Tune Supply.
Chris Ranney grew up in the state of Washington and has studied piano since age six. His skills as a pianist, musical director, and conductor have led him to perform on stages all over the United States, including seven years as the Associate Conductor and Musical Director of the Tony Award-winning and Grammy Award-nominated Broadway musical "Come From Away" in New York City.
Chris has worked extensively in his home state of Washington, acting as musical director and pianist for many productions at Seattle’s acclaimed 5th Avenue Theatre, Village Theatre, Seattle Repertory Theatre, and in California at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley. Chris's work has been heard as far away as Shanghai, when he acted as Musical Supervisor and Arranger for "Next Stop Broadway", a musical review tour of major venues in China. He also performs frequently in New York and California with Tony Award-nominated actress Jenn Colella, and serves as her music director and pianist.
Chris's career as a traditional musician began in 2016, when he picked up the button accordion while on tour with "Come From Away". He can now be heard playing at Irish sessions around New York. During the COVID-19 pandemic he co-founded Tune Supply, an online traditional music platform, along with his partner, violinist and fiddler Caitlin Warbelow.
Chris has developed a unique piano accompaniment style for Irish music that draws on his extensive experience with various contemporary styles combined with an ear for traditional melody and chord structure. He has performed at festivals around the US, including the Alaska Folk Festival and the Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival. Chris holds degrees in Performing Arts Technology and Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan. |
