'Scottish Fish'

East coast instrumental phenomenon Scottish Fish present a fresh take on traditional and contemporary Scottish and Cape Breton music. Their lively and unique arrangements are woven together from session music handed down from generations of the tradition’s finest players, many of whom they have had the opportunity to share the stage with.

These five young women have a very long and unique history: they began the band as elementary school children, and have remained together for the last decade. Now in their late teens and early twenties, their intense chemistry is clear in their performances and music. You won’t be able to keep your toes from tapping or hands from clapping, especially when experiencing their arrangements live.

The Scottish Fish includes Ava Montesi on fiddle, Caroline Dressler on fiddle, Giulia Haible on cello and piano, Julia Homa on fiddle and piano, and Maggie MacPhail on fiddle and piano.

In 2017, the group released their debut album, "Splash", and followed it with "Tidings", a five-track holiday EP, in 2019. Their newest record, "Upscale", produced by pianist and composer Neil Pearlman, was released in October, 2022, marking the band’s ten-year anniversary.
