- Tom Nelligan
‘If this trio is playing at a dance or festival anywhere near you, be there.’
‘The excitement packed in to this, their breakout CD is so palpable that one can only imagine what they sound like live’
‘Jaige Trudel from Vermont on fiddle, Adam Broome from the Cotswolds of England on guitar and cittern, and Nicholas Williams from Montreal, Quebec on flute, accordion, and bodhran, bring together three major “roots systems” of traditional music, and the result is electrifying - -Mary DeRosier
"Great original material, expertly performed, beautifully arranged and carefully recorded, makes "Nadajai" my selection as 'favorite Celtic album of the year' for 2005." - George Fowler

Bio
With a fiery mix of traditional and contemporary Celtic music, Crowfoot is rapidly gaining a reputation from coast to coast as a hot contra dance band. Their energetic sound is full of spirit and groove, consistently delighting enthusiastic dancers and listeners alike.
Crowfoot’s original compositions are an important element in defining the band sound. All three band members compose, drawing inspiration from the musical traditions of England, Ireland, Quebec, Appalachia, and beyond.
When Crowfoot is on the concert stage, songs with harmonized vocals, and lyrical instrumental arrangements interweave with the trio’s infectious dance energy. A meeting ground of old and new, their performance is always in the moment, alive and spontaneous.
