Kiérah is a multi award-winning violinist and Celtic fiddler from White Rock, B.C. She has completed her A.R.C.T. with the Royal Conservatory of Music, receiving one of the highest marks ever given. With an Irish/Scottish heritage, Kiérah’s passion, however, is composing and performing traditional and contemporary Celtic fiddle music. An outstanding entertainer, Kiérah captivates her audiences by taking fiddling to a completely different level, demonstrating her mastery of the instrument and radiating her love of the music.
Kiérah has recorded three albums, each receiving Canadian Folk Music Award nominations with her 3rd - “Stonemason’s Daughter” - receiving a CFMA win for Young Performer of the Year. She has also written B.C.’s first book of all original fiddle tunes, “Kiérah's Collection”, carried by Long and McQuade across Canada.
Performing with Kiérah will be two exceptional musicians: multi instrumentalist and producer Adrian Dolan, most notably of The Bills and The Ruth Moody Band, on piano, accordion and mandolin; and innovative guitarist Adam Dobres of The Ruth Moody Band, with his unique and impressive approach to traditional music.
