   About Neil Pearlman
.. "I'm a fan!" --Alasdair Fraser

Multi-instrumentalist and dancer Neil Pearlman is emerging as one of the traditional music scene's most innovative young artists. Legendary Cape Breton fiddler Jerry Holland said that "watching Neil's hands on the piano is like watching two spiders on crack!" His piano style seamlessly blends Cape Breton traditions with jazz harmony and funk/rock grooves. The result is a exciting new sound that remains true to its traditional roots. An accomplished Cape Breton step dancer, Neil grew up playing music and dancing in the family band Highland Soles and has performed with many of the best musicians on the traditional scene today, including Alasdair Fraser, Natalie MacMaster, Kimberley Fraser, Abby Newton, Frank Ferrel, Maeve Gilchrist, Mike Vass and Ed Pearlman. In 2008, Neil and Ed released the CD "On the Edge" to acclaim from musicians, producers and others across the traditional music scene. Neil has performed at Carnegie Hall, the Iron Horse, and Nighttown and continues to perform extensively with Ed Pearlman, Highland Soles, Steph Chou, A Thousand Years at Sea and others. Most recently Neil has started work on a new duo project with the old-time fiddler Rachel Baiman. Neil is a student at Columbia University in the City of New York, performing frequently throughout the city and on campus.

Wonderful tunes!  The piano is exquisitely smooth and the bass/drum interplay is quite the catchy and driving force.  I (Leif) studied jazz theory for a good while when I was playing bass, and recently applied that knowledge to guitar.  Our song Bliss From A Distance is one of our tunes with some jazzy influence.  Hope you like it!  Thanks for your musicianship!
