Welcome
John & Heidi Cerrigione (‘ser-a-go-nee) live in Ellington, Connecticut and enjoy playing old time sentimental music. Instrumentation typically includes guitar, autoharp, banjo, mountain and hammered dulcimer. Their tunes are drawn from many traditional sources, including fiddle and dance music of early America, the British Isles and Switzerland.
