"Here is the ceilidh band for the 21st century," says Nicky Rossiter of Rambles Cultural Magazine. Tom Knapp, of the same publication describes the music of Fiddlers 3 as "fine, highly polished & very exciting."
Robert L. Doerschuk "...their (Fiddlers 3) performance reflects the vigorous tradition associated with Nova Scotian fiddlers Ashley MacIsaac and Natalie MacMaster, though the blended fiddle parts betray no rough edges"
High-Energy Celtic-Folk band Fiddlers 3 motto is "We dare you to keep your feet still". Party-rocking grooves and heavy downbeats, Fiddlers 3 jump-start the atmosphere wherever they are.
This family band evolved in late 1996 when Brothers Stefan and Andrian and Sister Elaina stepped on a church stage with their violins after only a few short months of lessons. Their ages at the time were 12, 10 and nine. Joining them was Mom Mary Ann on accordion and Dad Lorne with spoons and washboard to complete the group.
Today, the family continues to bring to the festival stage their own eclectic blend of Celtic-Folk music. The sounds of Ireland, Scotland, the East Coast, French-Canadian and Old Time are combined into a unique style and sound that is truly their own. The group's success inspired all three of these championship fiddlers to go on to study music at McMaster University. Their performance will leave you astonished and speechless after witnessing the intensity, passion and drive of their music.
Fiddlers 3 have played with acts including Ashley MacIsaac, the Chieftains, Teenage Head Natalie MacMaster, the Barra MacNeils, Colin James, Alannah Miles, Slainte Mhath and the Irish Descendants.
After intense demand, their new, highly-anticipated 2nd CD 'ENCORE!' was released in 2003, gaining immediate approval from fans and critics alike when it won the Kweevak CD of the YEAR - Critic's Choice Award 2004 and CD of the YEAR - Viewer's Choice Award 2004. Fiddlers 3 are the only Canadian band to win both awards simultaneously in the same calendar year. This most recent award follows the success of their debut self-titled CD which won the CD of the YEAR - Viewer's Choic
