Twin bill: Cassie & Maggie and The Eliza Doyle TrioEast coast Maritimers meet high energy prairie folk-bluegrass trio for a lively and entertaining evening.
With over 17 combined Canadian Folk Music, East Coast Music, and Music Nova Scotia awards and nominations, the JUNO-Nominated powerhouse duo, Cassie and Maggie, emerge as an unstoppable force on the global folk stage. Unleashing a magnetic energy, they seamlessly weave their deep Celtic heritage with contemporary influences. Committed to not just preserving but also propelling Nova Scotia's folk traditions into new realms, Cassie and Maggie bring an exhilarating energy that is both timeless and irresistibly modern. Their eagerly anticipated 5th studio album, "Gold and Coal," is poised to solidify their status as folk music trailblazers.
When Eliza Doyle’s car broke down in Nashville in 2015, she found herself happily stuck in Music City. The venerable Saskatchewan banjo player and singer/songwriter had stopped in to see a festival and ended up enjoying an extended stay, playing in bars and meeting all manner of talented musicians. Having been on sabbatical to follow her muse anyway, it seemed like fate urging her to keep on the well-worn path to musical fulfillment.
Doyle has had a twenty-year career in groups, as a solo artist, as a professional session musician, playing banjo, singing, and performing with the banjo, dobro, guitar, and mandolin. She has released nine full-length albums, won a Juno with the group The Dead South (which she toured with from 2016-2018), and has toured Canada, the USA and Europe extensively. Doyle has been a regional finalist in CBC’s Searchlight Canada competition and past winner of Bell Media’s contest, The Next Big Thing.
