Two of Canada's best, fiddler Shane Cook and guitarist Quinn Bachand, team up for a rip roaring fiddle and guitar concert you won't want to miss!

Shane Cook "rates at the top of the short list of the finest fiddlers in the world today," says the Canadian Fiddlers' Hall of Fame. Shane has distinguished himself as a leading exponent of the Canadian old-time fiddle tradition as well as a multi-instrumentalist who holds a deep mastery of musical styles ranging from Irish and Scottish to French-Canadian, Texan, and Bluegrass.
Shane is a three-time Canadian Open National Champion, a three-time Canadian Grand Masters Champion, a Grand North American Champion, and is the only foreign fiddler to have ever won the US Grand National Championship. Shane�s most recent recognition came in 2012 when he received a CBC Galaxie Rising Star Award as well as a Young Tradition Bearer Award, granted by the Goderich Celtic Roots Festival for his dedication and contribution to traditional and roots music in Canada.

Eighteen year old Quinn Bachand is one of Canada's most outstanding award winning musicians. Quinn's awards and nominations include two Irish Music Award wins, three Canadian Folk Music Award nominations, a Western Canadian Music Award nominations, four Vancouver Island Music Award nominations and a win! With diverse musical talents and a bottomless pool of creativity, Quinn Bachand is an experienced performer, a prodigious guitar player and a gifted multi-instrumentalist who is at ease playing a wide range of instruments and musical genres, from Celtic to Jazz.
