With roots that go back six generations, the Chaisson family from eastern Prince Edward Island shares a legacy of traditional music and dance. Ever since Joe Pete Chaisson formed the PEI Fiddlers Association and established the Rollo Bay Fiddle festival, the family has worked to preserve and protect traditional music and dance on the island. Joe Pete’s three sons—Peter, Kenny, and Kevin—set the standard for younger generations to follow. Peter’s masterful touch on the fiddle never wavered through decades of play, accomplished composer and player Kenny’s tunes could go on for days, and Kevin is one of the most sought-after piano accompanists on PEI. Kevin will be here for Celtic Colours this year with the latest generation of Chaisson players including J.J., Brent, Tim, Darla MacPhee, and Elmer Deagle.
