Vishtèn
Acadian powerhouse trio Vishtèn has reached a musical milestone with its fourth album Mōsaïk. The album marks an innovative musical departure in an international career spanning over a decade. Vishtèn's groundbreaking album, Mōsaïk, combines imaginative, modern interpretations of traditional Acadian songs with original instrumentals that draw from an eclectic variety of roots music. This much anticipated album release comes after a four year recording hiatus during which the band developed a new core sound.
After more than a decade, Vishtèn has become a distinct and powerful voice in Acadian traditional music. The Canadian trio was a featured band at the Vancouver Olympics and has performed in countless international festivals and venues around the world - The Lincoln Center (NYC), Festival Interceltique de Lorient (France), The Old Fruitmarket (Scotland), Winnipeg Folk Festival (Canada) to name few - and their music has been showcased in American television (ESPN) and the Japanese Film, Finding Anne.
They have crafted a unique brand of new-traditional music and bring their warm, dynamic renderings of French-rooted, Celtic-infused traditions and new compositions to the stage. Twin sisters Emmanuelle and Pastelle LeBlanc and Pascal Miousse share with their audience a love of their music and heritage, captivating audiences wherever they play
Gordie MacKeeman and His Rhythm Boys:
With a slight bend of his knee, Gordie MacKeeman launches into a song. Guided by the sharp cuts of his fiddle, his famous crazy legs shake and twist with a laughing regard for physics. The whole time, his Rhythm Boys deliver a surefooted roots instrumentation to accompany the spectacle. It's a joyful sight that divides the line between the band and the audience. It is this pomp and spirit that Gordie MacKeeman & His Rhythm Boys set out to capture on their new album, Pickin' n Clickin'.
Hailing from Prince Edward Island, The Rhythm Boys' exhilarating live show instantly enamors audiences with their engaging, sometimes jaw-dropping, stagecraft and showmanship. With flavors of traditional bluegrass and roots music bolstered by their stunning musicianship, the group is poised to take the world stage. The band features Gordie MacKeeman (fiddle, feet, and vocals), Mark Geddes (bass, drums, percussion, mandolin, and banjo), Thomas Webb (vocals, banjo, guitar, pedal steel guitar, and bass) and Peter Cann (vocals and guitar).
