Quotes

“...the young trio has steadily made a huge name all over the Maritimes over the past two years and has seemingly played absolutely everywhere,....this on-fire fiddle/guitar/percussion trio have harnessed a traditional spirit between them that is completely intoxicating, playing everything from French to Irish to even Gypsy music. You just never know where their ceaseless energy will take you next.”
