“Cassie and Maggie... What an unbelievably gifted duo, the train is just gathering steam and leaving the station on these new stars. It is going to be a glorious journey, and it is already well-begun." –Live Ireland Radio- Dublin, IR Nova Scotia sisters Cassie and Maggie have been lighting up the world with their unique blend of traditional and contemporary Celtic instrumentals and vocals.

Appearing on stages across North America, the UK, and Europe the sisters have enchanted audiences far and wide with lively fiddle, piano and guitar arrangements, stunning sibling vocal harmonies in both English and Gaelic, all complemented by their intricate and percussive step-dancing style.

"2016 Live Ireland Radio’s “SINGERS OF THE YEAR” “NEW GROUP OF THE YEAR”, Chicago Irish-American Newspaper’s FEMALE VOCAL Album of the year winners, Galaxie Radio Rising Stars, Independent Music Award "World Song of the Year" nominees, multiple Canadian Folk Music Award, East Coast Music Award and Music Nova Scotia Award nominees, Nova Scotian sisters Cassie & Maggie have found a perfect balance between musical integrity, and sheer entertainment.

While staying true to their Nova Scotia Celtic roots, they have explored and tested the boundaries of traditional music. "Be it their foot percussion accompanying driving Nova Scotian sets, their perfect blend of sibling harmonies, added to a stunning interplay on various instruments, a musical evening spent with Cassie and Maggie is a great night, altogether" -Irish Music Magazine. Their new album, The Willow Collection "showcases not only their musical ability, but the depth and variety of their musicianship." www.cassieandmaggie.com
