Darcy Nair has been performing as a professional soloist and with folk music groups since 1990. Since then, her career has brought about experience with traditional and modern Celtic music to renaissance madrigals, English sea shanties and pub songs, bluegrass, and modern songwriting. In fact, she has produced seven recordings and traveled extensively throughout the United States to perform.

Born to perform, Darcy had been singing since childhood. It was only when she was in her 20's that she began playing her musical instruments. Now, she performs on hammered dulcimer, Irish bouzouki, English concertina, pennywhistle, bodhran and bones.

Her new CD, HighStrung, was just released this year, and is a blend of traditional tunes and her own songwriting. Instead of simply covering a song, Darcy adds her own touch to each one and really makes it her own.
