Nellie Quinn

Canadian folk fiddler Nellie Quinn is quickly gaining attention as an outstanding musician,
captivating performer and versatile interpreter of Canadian traditional musics. At the age of 22,
Nellie belies her young years through the depth and maturity of her music, no doubt a result of

compose and perform with some of Canada’s most influential fiddlers over the past several
years. She has performed on stage with such fiddlers as; Gordon Stobbe, Oliver Schroer, Daniel
Lapp and Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR).

Nellie has strong roots in Celtic folk music traditions such as British Isles, Cape Breton,
Quebecois, Métis (indigenous first people of Canada) and Old Time music which puts her in high
demand as a fiddle teacher. Through her understanding and awareness of these genres she has
developed and nurtured an individual style of playing which draws and shows respect for all
these traditions whilst creating something vibrant, exciting and different. An evening of music
from Nellie is an experience not be forgotten and is guaranteed to get your feet tapping.
