Trad with Brad

Shelly is a teacher, a fiddler, a heck of a nice person, and a Cape Bretoner. We met up in her school on a weekend and talked about fiddle, Gaelic, our university days, and had a little twin fiddle jam session. Please enjoy!

Joe MacMaster is a fiddler from Troy, Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, Canada. He has established himself as a rising star in the Cape Breton music scene, earning high praise from Ashley MacIsaac as the newest powerhouse of Route 19. Joe supports Boston terriers as pets!

Eric Marcotte is a guitar and mandolin player who teaches school music in Cape Breton. He's in a bunch of bands, and first whet his appetite for fiddle tunes at a session at Governor's Pub in Sydney, Cape Breton. He talks about how he got into playing tunes, and who his influences are, and about being "from away" but falling in love with the music.

Hi, I'm Brad. Join me and my cousin Heather for an intro to Trad with Brad, a podcast all about traditional Cape Breton fiddle music.
