The McDades

Punching through the walls of tradition, The McDades’ celtic rooted music fuses the spontaneity of jazz improvisation and infectious global rhythms. At the heart of the group are siblings Shannon, Solon & Jeremiah who grew up playing Canadian folk music alongside their parents and among artists from around the world, a unique upbringing that led to a love and respect for all music. With vocal harmonies that can only come from a family, and an obvious love for each other and their music, The McDades’ sound is immersed in the spirit of improvisation featuring both energetic instrumentals and sensitive vocals performed in English and French,

The McDades’ album “Bloom” was recognized by the Canadian music industry when it was awarded 2007 Juno for the Best Recording in the category of Roots/Traditional–Group.
