“Exuberant and rhythmic, somehow wild and innocent, delivered with captivating melodic clarity and an irresistible playfulness.” – The Boston Globe
Effervescent and engaging, Boston-based fiddler Hanneke Cassel’s career spans over two decades. Her style fuses influences from the Isle of Skye and Cape Breton Island with Americana grooves and musical innovations, creating a cutting-edge acoustic sound that retains the integrity and spirit of the Scottish tradition. Performing traditional and original music from Celtic and American Roots traditions, including songs from her new album, Over the Sea to Skye, this Boston-based string star and friends — five-time Grand National Fiddle Champion and pioneering cellist Tristan Clarridge, and sought-after sideman on guitar, mandolin, and foot percussion Keith Murphy — deliver a powerful and playful musical punch.
