Adrianna Ciccone Trio featuring Colin Cotter & Allison De Groot
Few young Canadian fiddlers today can show off the breadth and range of North American fiddling like Adrianna Ciccone. With a "distinctive stamp and swing that is both rooted and infectious", she crosses back and forth across the continent with ease. She showcases Cape Breton reels, crooked French-Canadian brandys, the rollicking rhythms of Ottawa Valley stepdancing tunes, way down to Southern Appalachian stringband tunes; even incorporating Irish and Métis influences. Her debut album, 'The Back of Winter', produced by Bruce Molsky won Instrumental Artist of the Year at the 2015 Canadian Folk Music Awards.
Adrianna is joined by San Francisco Bay area multi-instrumentalist Colin Cotter on guitar, and Winnipeg native Allison de Groot on clawhammer banjo. Together, the group explores the worlds of Quebecois, Appalachian & Celtic music, drawing from traditions of the past while forging a unique musical identity. www.adriannaciccone.com/trio
