A tradtional fiddle player who listens to way too much rock and Jazz...
Constantly in pursuit of the boundaries of the violin, and in turn pushing them as far as he can, Twenty-four year-old Brendan Carey Block (the 2000 - 2001 US National Junior Scottish Fiddle Champion) has been performing since the age of ten. His love for the traditional fiddle music of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia has had a huge part in crafting his current innovative and energetic sound which now incorporates Jazz and Rock elements as well as ideas from the many Celtic regions of the world. Brendan has toured and recorded with many great artists including the renowned Glengarry Bhoys, the Boston-based band Annalivia, and his own duo project with guitarist Flynn Cohen.
The Annalivia CD is now available, get your copy today!
Hey, just got home from my trip after my trip to D.C. Listened to your stuff. Sounds great. I like how you add traditional and electronica together. It's really fresh. I dig it.
