Based in Rhode Island, Aubrey and Elwood have traveled extensively for twenty-seven years in the United States, with occasional trips to Ireland, England, and Canada, to perform as well as find their songs and dances one by one. They have produced seven books, thirteen recordings that receive international airplay, and were featured in a documentary by Uriah Donnelly.

Aubrey and Elwood are often joined by a third member, Cathy Clasper-Torch. Cathy adds a deeply rich third dimension with fiddle, cello and vocals. In the award-winning Atwater~Donnelly Band, joining Aubrey, Elwood and Cathy is Kevin Doyle, a U.S. Champion Irish step and master American tap dancer. Kevin has been entertaining audiences for over 35 years with his traditional style of ‘close to the ground’ rhythms and intricate foot work.
