Scottish Fish present a fresh take on traditional and contemporary Scottish and Cape Breton music. Their lively and unique arrangements are woven together from session music handed down from generations of the tradition’s finest players. Their music and performances have earned them spots at renowned venues such as The Burrren and Club Passim, plus features on National Public radio programs such as WGBH, KALW, in American Girl and Folkworld Magazines; attracted attention from programs such as America's Got Talent; and secured an international audience of over one hundred thousand followers on Instagram. Their latest release, "Upscale," produced by pianist and composer Neil Pearlman, was released in October, 2022, marking the band’s ten year anniversary. Scottish Fish have been named as “One of the most energetic and creative acts to take root in the local Celtic music scene this century” by Boston Irish Reporter Sean Smith. Scottish fiddler Hanneke Cassel has described the Scottish Fish sound as “both incredibly musical and just a little unusual.”

We hope everyone is doing well, but we and others know that things are not as they were before Covid, and the change in administration concerning issues such as immigration. More foreign artists are having difficulty getting in and out of the US, and venues are still trying to recover from Covid, and not able to give the guarantees that foreign artists need to tour. So we are limited in booking our foreign artists in the US for now, until the situation improves for both artists and venues. We are sorry that things have come to this, and we hope that the climate for artists improves soon!
