Tricia Spencer and Howard Rains are folk music makers and visual artists. Tricia Spencer is a Kansas fiddler and multi-instrumentalist who grew up learning traditional fiddling knee to knee from her grandparents. Howard Rains is an artist and fiddler, guitar player, and singer from Texas–now living in Kansas–who comes from a family rich in music and art making. They met in 2012 and have been collaborating ever since. Both have many decades of experience playing for dances and consider it to be the most important element in understanding the fiddle.
