Cary Novotny is an outstanding guitarist and entertaining vocalist. Cary has been actively involved in the Irish music scene for 20 years. His trademark sound has made him one of the most in-demand guitar players in Irish music today. With unerring rhythm, boundless energy and versatility, he varies from breakneck speed to delicate finger-style in the blink of an eye. Cary was a founding member of former Lord of the Dance fiddle-duo, The Bridies, Johnny B Connollys Bridgetown, and Portlands venerable Irish band Cul an Ti.

In addition, you can expect a to hear a wide range of American music from Americana to singer-songwriter favorites from Cary's amazingly large repertoire.
