Born in New Brunswick into a musical family and now living in Lévis, Québec, Martin has been playing music by ear since his teens. His fiddle and song influences are mostly rooted in French-Canadian music of Atlantic Canada. His experience has led him to perform in Canada, the US, and Europe with keynote traditional musicians, and record two albums. If you visited Old Québec in the last ten years you might have seen him busking with his usual “I love this tune” smile. Well-involved in the traditional music scene, he is active in local cultural organizations, instigating dances, sessions and workshops. He loves to pass on his tunes to anyone interested, and has been teaching since 2012. This is Martin’s first time performing at Celtic Colours.
