Welcome to Shortleaf
Shortleaf is a duet (Michael and Tenley Fraser) from Missouri with strong ties to the traditions of the Ozarks. Founded by Ozark fiddler Michael Fraser, Shortleaf specializes in high-energy music rooted in celtic and old time traditions. Haunting ballads, rip roaring fiddle tunes with a dose of southern rock will provide an evening of what one may describe as "the real Mountain Music"! Mike and Tenley also appear with Dave Para and Erika Gerety-Para as the band Snorty Horse.
