Prairie Smoke dates its origins back some 20 years as a three-piece combo of dulcimer, fiddle and guitar/mandolin. About 18 or 19 years ago the flute, penny whistle and bass were added and they adopted as their moniker, the name of an indigenous Driftless prairie wildflower of the rose family, Prairie Smoke. Their music began with a decidedly folk flavor before being spiced up with a little Celtic charm. In time, some of their original music, truly American folk, was added to their library, giving their music a wondefully personal touch.
In April of 2003, Prairie Smoke released their first recording, Smoke in Bloom, which features a few original pieces along with traditional Celtic and American folk tunes.
March of 2009 saw the release of a second CD, River of Dreams, with more original songs and traditional favorites they hope you will enjoy for a long time.
