Jamie Laval in Knoxville

Jamie Laval and Zac Leger will present a 2-hour concert of traditional and progressive Celtic music in the warm, inviting atmosphere of the River Island Community Center. "One of the hottest fiddlers out there" (Asheville Citizen-Times), Jamie Laval creates rapt audiences with his passionate performances of traditional music of Scotland, Ireland, Brittany and Quebec, rendered with the superlative tone and depth of expressivity formerly associated with classical virtuosi. Winner of the U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Championship (2002), Laval has appeared on the NBC Today Show, Dave Mathew's "Some Devil" album, has performed for Her Majesty the Queen, and won Best World Traditional Song in the 2007 Independent Music Awards Vox Populi. He tours nationally with over 125 concerts per year, regularly accompanied by multi-instrumentalist Zac Leger. Zac tours as guitarist with Jamie Laval, as a flutist with the Eileen Ivers Band, and is an award-winning Uillean piper.
