Scottish Fish

Described as “both very traditional and highly flexible” by Folkworld Magazine‘s Alex Monaghan, and as “one of the most energetic and creative acts to take root in the local Celtic music scene this century” in Boston Irish Reporter by Sean Smith, Scottish Fish present a fiddle-forward infusion of traditional and contemporary Scottish and Cape Breton music. After growing up steeped in the Boston Celtic music scene, these five young women began touring at an early age, quickly enchanting domestic and international audiences with their youthful enthusiasm, creative arrangements, and sensitive performances. As described by a concertgoer, “this powerhouse quintet wows listeners with a luscious and exciting sound, at times five instruments sharing one voice, and others a dynamic orchestra of harmony. Their years of friendship cultivate a truly unique musical bond. Their love for each other and the music they create is a gift they offer to anyone willing to listen.”
