For the past two decades, Adam Young has been bringing his particular style of Cape Breton piano accompaniment to audiences around the world. Deeply-rooted within the fiddle and bagpipe music tradition of the Island’s Scottish settlers, the Cape Breton piano style has evolved over the past century, incorporating subtle elements of jazz and popular music, while still maintaining that unique “Cape Breton” sound. He plays regularly at concerts, ceilidhs, square dances, and sessions throughout Cape Breton, and has showcased his talents across Canada, the U.S., the U.K., and Australia, with the likes of Colin Grant, Còig, Dara Smith-MacDonald, Anita MacDonald, and Jennifer Roland. Adam’s double album and tunebook, Yearbook, garnered critical acclaim, as well as an East Coast Music Award and a Canadian Folk Music Award nomination. He has also appeared on several other recordings, including three with Dara Smith-MacDonald.
