Lawson's guitar playing is showcased on the Fiddlehead CD, and he is often praised for his tasteful accompaniment. Though their music tends toward the Irish tradition, Lawson and Anthea can step out with hot banjo and fiddle, or get dancers moving with a variety of dance tunes from Appalachia to Quebec.

The band features Anthea Lawrence on fiddle and vocals, Audra Poor on Uillean pipes, flute, and whistle, and Lawson Dumbeck on guitar, banjo, and bodhran.

Fiddlehead plays an exciting blend of Celtic music and song. Comfortable playing intimate pubs, large concert halls, music in the park, Highland games, or at the starting line for thousands of runners, Fiddlehead diversity and musicality deliver excellent entertainment.

The distant drone of pipes, sweet ballads sang in Gaelic, upbeat jigs, melodic airs twining between guitar and flute, fiery reels driven by the fiddle; all this is part of a Fiddlehead performance. Fiddlehead is frequently joined by top Irish dancers from Northwest Irish dance schools. Performing in both hard and soft shoes, the dancers add color and pageantry to an already rich performance.
