Machlis is a piano player with a delicate and tender touch and a composer of tender and stirring music drawn from the Scottish idiom ... Evocative, fluid, warm ... a joy to listen to.
Composer/keyboardist Paul Machlis played Scottish country dance music for years in his Berkeley, California, hometown before embarking on his long-running collaboration with renowned Scots fiddler Alasdair Fraser. Since 1983, the acclaimed duo has woven a spell for audiences across North America and Europe, creating a fine and intricate blend of Scottish traditional fiddle music and contemporary arrangements and improvisations.
In addition to exploring Scottish music, Paul has performed and recorded Bulgarian music and contra-dance music with a variety of groups, and has published a book of fifty of his original tunes.
