Event Description

Powerhouse Celtic Fiddle player - Kierah Raymond - kicks off White Rock’s Irish month with music from her spectacular new CD - “Strong Bow”. It was produced by Adrian Dolan and recorded here at the Blue Frog Studios.

Studying and performing Celtic fiddle music alongside 13 years of classical violin; Kierah is a ridiculously talented fiddle player. At 17, she won a 2013 Canadian Folk Music Award for her 3rd album - “Stonemason’s Daughter” and has written B.C.’s first book of all original fiddle tunes carried by Long and McQuade across Canada.

Kierah has such a strong love for traditional and contemporary fiddle music, that she has developed a special educational performance called “Celtic Traditions Across Canada" which she has taken to over 150 schools in B.C. and Alberta.

Performing with Kierah will be two outstanding B.C. musicians: Adrian Dolan of “The Bills” and of “The Ruth Moody Band” on piano, mandola, mandolin, accordion and viola along with innovative guitarist, Adam Dobres, of the “The Ruth Moody Band”, “The Wailing Jennys”, “Toni Childs”, and “The Dustin Bentall and The Truth” bands.
