NATALIE MACMASTER

"MacMaster's a ball of fire, performing gigs and reels with unstoppable, foot-tapping energy and ballads with irresistible, keening passion." Los Angeles Times

Fiddling virtuoso Natalie MacMaster, a native of Canada's Cape Breton Island, is one of the most versatile and exciting young musicians on both the Folk and Celtic music scenes. Her live performances are a testament to her incandescent musicianship and boundless energy featuring foot-tapping rave-ups, heart-rending ballads, and world-class step dancing. She is as equally adept at setting the house on fire with her exceptional band as she is at hypnotizing a crowd while alone in the footlights.
