The very first time you experience the mythical melodic force that is THE MCKASSONS-- you vow it won't be your last! Ryan and Cali, a brother/sister band from the Pacific Northwest, perform their Celtic musical magic on an intuitive level. Since the 2004 release of their superb debut album, Tall Tales, THE MCKASSONS have been turning heads in the American Celtic music scene. Ryan, fiddler, Cali, pianist, bring an exciting edge to the treasured Scottish fiddle tradition, creating constantly evolving textures within a powerful mix of contemporary and traditional influences. THE MCKASSONS have appeared in concert halls and festivals across the country, making their Kennedy Center debut this year. Ryan won the National Junior Scottish Fiddle Championship in 1995 and went on a year later to be the youngest winner of the National Scottish Fiddle Open Championship. THE MCKASSONS have just released their second album, Tripping Maggie, and are touring the country with their drummer Matt Jerrell, banjo and guitar master Dave Cory, and vocalist Brooke McKasson. With beautiful arrangements of traditional tunes and original compositions, THE MCKASSONS captivate audiences by the energy and drama of their performances.
