Jocelyn Pettit by Jocelyn Pettit

Canadian Folk Music Award Nominee 2010 - "World Artist of the Year" and "Young Performer of the Year"

West Coast Canadian, award-nominated touring musician, Jocelyn Pettit, is a vibrant fiddler, stepdancer, guitarist and singer.

With her band, Jocelyn has ignited stages across Canada, the U.S., the U.K., and Europe.  She has performed on national television and radio;  performed with Irish supergroup, The Chieftains;  and earned multiple award nominations, including Canadian Folk Music Awards’ "World Artist of the Year" and "Young Performer of the Year”.

This debut CD features high-energy Celtic music, with original compositions, and arrangements of melodies steeped in the folk traditions of BC, Cape Breton, Scotland, Ireland, Scandinavia, and France. This feel-good music is led by the blazing-to-soulful fiddle, accompanied by piano, guitar, bodhran, fiddle harmonies, and lyrical vocals, with special guest musicians (cello, whistle, cittern, viola). Mixed together, this ignites into an alluring sound of foot stompin' dance tunes, rhythms & chops, rich tones, and lyrical melodies.

"One suspects we'll be hearing of Pettit for years to come ---
the next generation of Celtic music is in good hands."
- Strings Magazine
