Experience the magic of these phenomenal Canadian Celtic musicians, Pierre Schryer & Adam Dobres. This fiddle & guitar duo have just released an album called “Mandorla” which features an eclectic array of musical gems from across the globe - traditional and contemporary tunes in various styles from Canada, Ireland, Algeria, Brazil, Quebec. Together they represent two diverse and successful music careers laden with awards and nominations including JUNO, Canadian Folk Music Awards, Western Canadian Music Awards and Grammy Awards. Schryer and Dobres continue to appear at national and international festivals from the Pacific to the Atlantic and beyond.

Pierre Schryer is one of Canada’s leading traditional fiddlers. Of his six recordings released on his own label New Canadian Records, “Blue Drag” was nominated at the 2004 JUNO Awards for best Roots and Traditional (Group) Album of the Year, and “Mélange” at the 2008 Canadian Folk Music Award for Instrumental Solo Album of the Year.

Adam Dobres is a highly accomplished guitarist with a natural ability to embody any style of music. "Fifteen", an album with the Wailin' Jennys, was nominated at the 2019 JUNO Awards. In 2016, Adam released his first solo album (self titled) featuring a collection of new compositions and which was nominated for West Coast Music Awards.
