CÒIG Trio -- Live from Cape Breton
With a fiery Celtic style as their musical core, Rachel Davis & Darren McMullen, accompanied by Zakk Cormier, offer a fresh and exhilarating mix of traditional tunes, lively instrumentals and contemporary songs performed on over a dozen instruments (vocals, fiddles, guitar, banjo, mandolin, viola, bouzouki, whistles, and more)--in a lot of non-traditional ways!
The musical trio features the superb talents of Rachel Davis on fiddle and vocals, and the musical musings of multi-instrumentalist Darren McMullen, and Zakk Cormier on guitar. With driving rhythms on Acadian foot-percussion, they’re an unparalleled musical force.
This May 4th, Rachel and Darren are set to release their brand new duo album fittingly titled “Home”, which features 11 original songs and traditional arrangements, marking another milestone for this Cape Breton power couple.
Rachel and Darren have assembled a mantel full of awards and nominations for both their solo recordings and with Còig for five recordings, including two Canadian Folk Music Awards, a JUNO nomination, and multiple East Coast Music Awards. Combining traditional folk tunes and contemporary songs, their lively stage show has won them fans across North America, Europe and Australia. They are the best in trad music, in a non-traditional way.
