The Music - blues, Americana, roots/rock, Motown, Mardi Gras, Cajun, Zydeco, bluegrass and the Beatles. Traditional Scottish, Irish, Cajun and Appalachian instrumentals. The mix of music can be considered as eclectic by some......but definitely enjoyable by most terms. Ciro plays electric guitar, acoustic guitar and 5 string bluegrass banjo. Over time, and mostly due to appreciation of “all things fun and musical”...Ciro has added Scottish smallpipes, Uilleann pipes, Great Highland Bagpipes, button accordion and bowed dulcimer to his array of instruments.

Ciro

Ciro Lo Pinto – Ciro is a transplant to Jim Thorpe, PA via New York and New Jersey. Ciro comes primarily from a Bluegrass music tradition; playing 5 string Banjo and flatpicking Guitar. Electric guitar and old time rock and roll are his newest passion. Ciro also brings Cajun Button Accordion to some of the “rootsier” numbers. Ciro also plays with the Penn-York Highlanders/Ladies from Hell Bagpipe Band from Athens, Pennsylvania. Ciro has brought the addition of Scottish Smallpipes to his repertoire of instrumentals...between banjo, bagpipes and accordion he plays what are probably the three most polarizing instruments known to mankind... as in "everyone who likes them stand here... and if you don't, then stand there". Ciro's Great Highland Bagpipes are available for weddings, funerals, orchard wassailing and small, mostly local,border disputes. Ciro is available as a solo performer or sideman.
