Finney & Webster

Jeremy Finney is a Nova Scotia-based fiddler and composer whose playing sits at the lively crossroads of Irish traditional music and the Atlantic Canadian sound. His debut solo album, Tip the Bottle, released in 2018 and recorded at Joel Plaskett's New Scotland Yard studio in Dartmouth, earned a nomination for Music Nova Scotia's Traditional/Roots Album of the Year and featured guests including Mohsen Amini on concertina, Torrin Ryan on uilleann pipes, and Ellen Gibling on harp.

Jeremy's playing is at once lyrical and powerful, moving effortlessly between fervent slow airs and rousing tune sets.

Andy Webster grew up immersed in the Scottish music tradition and carries that deep connection across the Atlantic to his home in Nova Scotia. An exceptionally versatile musician, Andy accompanies on guitar and bouzouki with a rhythmic drive and harmonic richness that bring out the best in any tune. His singing draws from the great well of Scots and Celtic song, and his original compositions reflect both the old world and the new, bridging Scotland and the Maritimes with grace and feeling. Andy has played and recorded with greats like Dougie MacLean and Leahy.

“Truly one of the very best accompanists I have ever seen!” — Paul Mills, producer for Stan Rogers & Natalie MacMaster
