John Sherman and Randy Clepper's new duo CD, "Finally Tuned", is a collection of masterfully executed arrangements of Irish traditional tunes on bouzouki, fingerstyle guitar and tenor banjo. Melodies are gently handed back and forth between bouzouki/guitar, tenor banjo/bouzouki and dual fingerstyle guitars by these stellar instrumentalists. Joining John and Randy to round out the mix are Pat Foley, Jr. on bodhran and Mark Alan Wade on marimbula. John Sherman - guitar, tenor banjo Randy Clepper - bouzouki, guitar John Sherman has been a performer of traditional and Celtic music for the last two decades. While he has played a variety of instruments, he is first and foremost a guitarist, and has arranged over a hundred Irish and Scottish melodies for the instrument.  His two solo recordings, “Farewell to the Creeks” and “So Inclined” have received critical acclaim in musical magazines Sing Out!, Dirty Linen and Acoustic Guitar, and have garnered airplay across the U.S. and Canada, and Ireland. As an accompanist and opening act, John has performed with the Tannahill Weavers, Phil Cunningham and John Renbourn, with uilleann piper Todd Denman, and as a regular accompanying guitarist for folk singer/songwriter Tom Paxton. Multi-instrumentalist Randy Clepper is an accomplished player of Irish and other traditional music on Irish bouzouki, fingerstyle acoustic guitar, tenor banjo and hammer dulcimer.   Equally adept at all of these, his playing has been described as “magnificent”, “strong and confident” (Dulcimer Player’s News) – “a Celtic guru” (Wood ‘N Strings).     Randy has released an acclaimed solo instrumental album of traditional Irish music, “Within a Mile”, a CD “Hammer On!” with the band of the same name, and has appeared as a guest performer on Dan Landrum’s “Winter Mix” CD.
