Thanks to your votes, The Gnomes are the 2012 WINNERS of the MOTIF MUSIC AWARD
for Creative Excellence in the "Americana Act of the Year"!
We thank you, friends/fans, for this vote of support!!!

The Gnomes band includes some of Rhode Island's best known musicians--Phil Edmonds (Irish whistle and button accordion); Cathy Clasper-Torch (fiddle, keyboard, er-hu, vocals); Michael Fischman (guitar, mandolin, bouzouki, banjo); Peter Breen (bass, vocals); and Ron Schmitt (percussion) -- who combine their varied and extensive musical backgrounds into arrangements that have been described as "exotic, fresh, unique."

Their spirited songs and instrumentals take you around the world, encompassing Celtic, klezmer, Scandinavian, Caribbean, Asian and latin styles, and originals. It's music to groove to, to move to, or be moved by. You can't help but "Get Gnomed" when you hear The Gnomes.
