I’ve been a violinist/fiddler for over 23 years, with 12 years of professional, freelance performing experience! Growing up, I studied classical violin and over the last several years, I’ve been busy recording and performing, and touring within Canada, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. 

I’ve been lucky enough to perform to incredible crowds on large stages, like the RBC Bluesfest and the Manitoulin Island Country Fest - these shows emanate energy and are so much fun to do! But my favourite shows are with smaller audiences, where you can truly revel in the intimacy of the moment (house concerts, weddings, and cafes, etc.)

From 2015 to 2021, I was part of Ottawa folk duo, Jessica Pearson and the East Wind. Together, we toured nationally and internationally, and recorded an EP and full album. In 2021, we won “Songs from the Heart” from the Folk Music Ontario awards, and were also nominated for “Group of The Year” by the Capital Music Awards. 

I have performed at many special events, like the Duke of Edinburgh awards, and I have proudly performed for many weddings and proposals, delivering the perfect song and atmosphere for each couple’s special day.

If there’s one thing that’s certain, my love of performing, along with my versatile and professional playing, will help bring a vibrant, elegant, and engaging atmosphere to any event!
