Kevin Alewine and Peggy and Ken Fleming have played together for nearly two decades as a trio beginning with Waifs & Strays and presently under the name Jigsaw. Their spirited performance of traditional Irish music has always been their mainstay and, the three are considered among the best traditional players in the region.
Instrumentally, Jigsaw is talent rich, blending a large variety of instruments and vocal harmonies. Kevin plays flute, guitar, mandolin, tenor banjo, whistle and sings. Peggy plays fiddle and remains the lead vocalist of the group while husband Ken plays button accordion, Anglo concertina, tenor banjo, guitar, mandolin, whistle and also sings. As the name implies, Jigsaw interlocks multiple talents to form one of Texas’ finest ensembles playing traditional Irish music.
All three members of Jigsaw also play in the Lone Star Ceili Band and Trinity Hall Session Players.
