The Playdate Trio
Marla Fibish, Rebecca Richman & Lewis Santer
The Playdate Trio weaves together mandolin, fiddle, and bouzouki into something greater than the sum of its parts—locked-in, interwoven, and full of joyful mischief. Marla's mandolin and mandola, Rebecca's fiddle and concertina, and Lewis's artful bouzouki and guitar, create a sound built on deep listening and shared musical intuition. Rooted in Irish traditional music, they also bring life to original tunes from Marla and their tunesmith friends, along with threads from other traditional styles.
All three are accomplished musicians in their own right. Marla has cultivated a thriving community of mandolin students. Rebecca draws on her music studies at Mills College and years of teaching experience. Lewis is a master luthier who has been building and repairing acoustic instruments since 1986, and has played in traditional Irish bands for decades.
The trio grew out of Marla and Rebecca's 2025 duo album, Playdate, which featured Lewis's bouzouki. What began as a guest appearance revealed a musical chemistry too good to leave in the studio—and the Playdate Trio was born.
"…absorbing and rewarding…played with a lightness of touch and a togetherness which is a joy to hear." — Alex Monaghan, Irish Music Magazine
