With over seventeen combined Canadian Folk Music, East Coast Music, and Music Nova Scotia awards and nominations, and a JUNO nomination for Roots/Traditional Album of the Year, Nova Scotia’s Cassie and Maggie have established themselves among the most exciting and decorated acts in today’s international folk scene.

The sisters’ remarkable musicianship, a thrilling blend of fiddle, piano, guitar, sibling harmonies in both English and Gaelic, and percussive step dance, has earned them critical acclaim and an enthusiastic following across Canada, the U.S., and Europe. Their touring history includes more than 2,500 performances and appearances at some of the world’s leading festivals, including the Philadelphia Folk Festival, Milwaukee Irish Fest, Celtic Connections, HebCelt, Winnipeg folk, Calgary Folk, and New Bedford Folk Festival.

Their fifth studio album, Gold and Coal, has further elevated their global profile, reaching #2 on the International Folk DJ Charts and spending eight consecutive weeks in the Top 10 of the NACC Folk Radio Charts, breaking into the Top 5 twice. The album’s fusion of original and traditional material showcases the duo’s evolution from celebrated Celtic instrumentalists to dynamic songwriters and storytellers.

Winners of the Canadian Folk Music Award for Traditional Album of the Year and Music Nova Scotia’s Traditional/Roots Recording of the Year, Cassie and Maggie continue to define what it means to carry Nova Scotia’s folk traditions forward. With irresistible charisma, technical brilliance, and creative vision, they stand as trailblazers of a new generation of modern folk artists.
