Fiddle Friday at the Shoe: Rachel Davis McMullen & Jason Roach
With a hard driving fiddle style and an infectiously joyful stage presence, Cape Breton fiddler Rachel Davis is quickly is on the forefront of the traditional music scene in Atlantic Canada. Born and raised in Baddeck, Cape Breton, Rachel feels as comfortable on a festival or concert stage as she does in a dance hall back home and has performed across Canada, the United States, England, Scotland, France, and Australia. Her musical roots run deep, which becomes very apparent from her obvious joy that she exudes on stage, and has earned her a reputation as one of the best Cape Breton style fiddlers on the go. Chéticamp’s Jason Roach has crafted a dynamic piano style all his own. Learning in his early years from the legendary Maybelle Chisholm-MacQueen of nearby Margaree, Jason began performing publicly by 1997 and hasn’t stopped. Since earning his Bachelor of Music degree from St. Francis Xavier University, Jason has performed and toured extensively with musical acts like Sprag Session, Step Crew, and Còig, as well as playing dances, céilidhs, and concerts all over Cape Breton Island with a variety of fiddlers.
