FiddleSticks is a family musical group that performs folk songs and traditional tunes from the Celtic lands, from England, and from America. The band is made up of three teenaged sisters, Rebecca, Kathryn, and Elizabeth Davis, and their father Mark.

Tunes are presented in a lively mix, with influences from Jazz, Klezmer, New Age, and Afro-Caribbean traditions. FiddleSticks' music is a lively mix of traditional Celtic and English dance music, together with original pieces by the group's composer and fiddler, Kathryn, as well as plenty of storytelling songs of life, love and laughter. A typical performance also includes a few sets containing Klezmer (Jewish), continental European, contemporary American folk, and Mormon Pioneer music.

"See Spot Run" is an energizing Turtle-esque Island tune on fiddle and cello. It beautifully blends their cultural influences into a powerful melting pot of musical mastery.
