Bio
"Laura plays in a powerful, percussive style, with tight control and beautiful tone but bursting with energy and passion, turning reels into romps and slow airs into soul-searches."(Living Tradition) A California native, Laura Risk began playing Scottish fiddle music as a teenager. Her love of traditional fiddling has led her into a rich journey of performing and teaching the beautiful and diverse repertoires of Scotland, Cape Breton and, most recently, Quebec, where she now lives. As evidenced in several highly-praised albums, her playing is extremely expressive and versatile, ranging from elegant music composed for 18th-century Scottish drawing rooms to driving strathspeys and reels suitable for a Cape Breton dance floor. www.laurarisk.com -

I play solo and with a few different groups. Check out Triptych, my trio with guitarist/bodhran player/vocalist Paddy League and percussive dancer Kieran Jordan. www.triptychtrad.com. When I play in and around Montreal, it's usually with the folks on my last CD: Eric Beaudry on guitar, Rachel Aucoin on piano, Eric Breton on percussion, Michel Donato on bass. Occasionally I perform in a duo with body percussionist and dancer Sandy Silva. I play in another duo with hammer dulcimer player Ken Kolodner. I also have a band with Nicholas Williams on piano and Eric Breton on percussion. We play for Scottish country and ceilidh dancing and we're called Les Joueurs de Bon Accord. -
