The Fitzgeralds are a sibling band comprised of three-time Canadian Grand Master Fiddle and Step Dance champions Tom, Kerry, and Julie Fitzgerald, plus multi-instrumentalist and Canadian Folk Music Award-winner Alanna Jenish. With roots in Canada’s renowned Ottawa Valley, their art form stems from the rich tradition of Ottawa Valley fiddling and step dancing. Over the past 15 years, The Fitzgeralds’ musical style has evolved to include a strong focus on original compositions and arrangements that fuse their traditional fiddle roots with more modern influences. They have three albums to their name and were nominated for Instrumental Group of the Year at the 2020 Canadian Folk Music Awards. They have toured extensively, performing at theatres and festivals across North America, Germany, and the U.K. They have also been featured guests with Natalie McMaster and Ireland’s Nathan Carter, among others. In 2017, The Fitzgeralds went viral on Facebook via Ireland’s leading newspaper, Independent.ie, with more than 8 million views of their original choreographed dance routine! Most recently, they released their debut Christmas album A Canadian Christmas, which was nominated for ACTRA Recording Artist of the Year at the Ontario Folk Music Awards in 2022. We are excited to welcome The Fitzgeralds to Celtic Colours for the first time.
