Mary Jane Lamond Band

Cape Breton

Renowned Gaelic singer Mary Jane Lamond has dedicated her 30 year musical career to the preservation of Scottish Gaelic songs, garnering JUNO nominations and East Coast Music Awards, critical acclaim, and a worldwide audience for her music. Mary Jane’s five solo recordings create a respectful and beautiful framework for ancient Gaelic songs and her spell-binding performances make these selections truly come alive. A two-time Artist in Residence at the festival, Mary Jane has been a mainstay on Celtic Colours stages since 1997, performing on her own and with long-time musical collaborator Wendy MacIsaac.Wendy was also part of Mary Jane’s band alongside Cathy Porter (accordion/percussion), Chris Corrigan (guitar), Ed Woodsworth (bass), and Geoff Arsenault (drums). The band spent 11 busy years touring which included playing Lilith Fair in 1997 and tours with The Chieftains. Now the band is getting back together for a special reunion performance during the Thanksgivin’er concert.
