Singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, sideman, innovator, recording artist, award winner. His names are many, but underlying that is a young man with an ancient soul who has traveled the world for the past 23 years bringing his unique brand of joy to audiences wherever he goes. J.P. Cormier began playing guitar, self taught, at the age of 5 and quickly became immersed in the rich musical heritage of his Cape Breton roots. By the age of 9, he was considered a genuine prodigy and won his first guitar competition against 30 other players three times his age. By his mid-teens, it became obvious J.P. could play almost any stringed instrument he picked up. However it was his guitar playing which shone with his flawless executions of tunes he learned from records of giants like Chet Atkins and Doc Watson. Sarah Burnell hails from Ottawa, Canada, but her musical roots may be found in Cape Breton, Scotland, Ireland, and Québec. Her energetic fiddling reflects the wide variety of coaches with whom she has studied, including Alasdair Fraser, Jerry Holland, Shannon McDade-Johnson, April Verch, David Greenberg, Sandy MacIntyre, Stan Chapman, Carl MacKenzie, and Glen Graham. In July, 2006, Sarah toured Scotland, and she enjoyed her first taste of Shetland, Norwegian, and Welsh fiddling! | ||||||
