Viveka has played North American, Scottish and Irish music since childhood. Her solo album, Shores of Champlain
was released in 1993. In addition to playing with Atlantic Crossing she performs with the Celtic/contra dance band
Frost and Fire. Outside the music world she is founder and head coach
of the Vermont Fencing Alliance as well as competing in her own right, having
represented the US Veterans' Foil Team.

Peter relocated to Vermont from the UK where he played regularly for Scottish dances, ceilidhs and weddings. He has produced two
solo recordings of original Scottish
dance music (2003) and original waltzes (2017), and has published two volumes of his
own compositions.
He also performs with Frost and Fire,
teaches fiddle, custom builds
cedar strip canoes, is co-founder and musical director of the
Champlain Valley Scottish Fiddle Club, and is musical director of the
Vermont Fiddle Orchestra.

Rick developed his powerful rhythm playing through years of work in dance bands of all types. A licensed skipper who has lived and worked on the sea, he has
a natural affinity for maritime music. When not playing music, he can be found making dust as a fine wood-worker, or, when the season allows, chasing down
the skier ahead of him in a Nordic race.
