“Three exceptional artists from three rich cultural traditions - a high energy performance that you won’t soon forget.” It is a rare and very special occasion when these three fine musicians get together to play music. Pierre makes a yearly trip from Ontario to BC near Adam’s home on Pender Island, while Martin comes every 2 years from Ireland to visit the West Coast. Although the time between collaborations is long, when these exceptional artists do unite it is a high quality and magical experience.

Pierre Schryer is one of Canada’ leading traditional fiddlers. He has established himself as a gem on the music scene among fans and fellow musicians and is a JUNO nominee and Canadian Folk Music nominee. For over two decades Pierre has been touring across North America, the UK and Ireland headlining festivals and captivating audiences with his musical finesse, genuine warmth, and stunning technical ability in any style from Irish, Scottish and Québecois, to Canadian, American, and Swing.

He currently plays with the UK Celtic prog rock band, Iona. Martin has two critically acclaimed albums, Travel’n Style and Bright Silver Dark Wood.
