Innovative. Captivating. Passionate.
Words frequently used by many after a performance by Gillian Boucher.
Whether performing with her full band in front of thousands, as a vibrant acoustic duo with guitarist Seph Peters or solo in a kitchen of her native Inverness County playing the old tunes of her ancestors, Gillian never ceases to inspire with the dynamic expression of her music. On stage or in the classroom, Gillian is most comfortable with violin in hand and has been since the age of 10. An avid explorer, she more recently calls Turkey her home, exploring the flavours of the culture, food and music of this East-meets-West country, however never straying far from her niche as she has delighted audiences in Scotland, England, Canada and New Zealand, all part of her regular touring circuit, just this past year.
Gillian spent most of her youth accompanying some of the finest bands and singer-songwriters from folk circuits in both Canada and New Zealand but began her solo career with the debut of her highly acclaimed album, Elemental, in 2008, making her own individual stamp in the world of Celtic music. Recorded by CBC Radio, this album – regarded as progressive and easy listening – earned her the Nova Scotia Music Week Award in 2009 for Roots Traditional Recording of the Year and an East Coast Music Award Nomination in early 2010 in the same category. A quote from the producer, Glen Meisner, sums up the impression this album left on it’s listeners:
