"Sassanak" is the Scottish slang term for a 'Non-Scottish person.' Not surprising, the two ladies who make up the Sassanak Lassies who hail from Rochester, NY. Providing a blend of traditional Celtic music with undertones of Blues and Contemporary Folk-Rock, this group not only has a fun, upbeat style but also has been enthusastically received by audiences in both the United States and Canada. From toe-tapping and hand-clapping to peaceful and meditative music, these two talented ladies really put their all into their music. Despite being from diverse musical backgrounds, the Sassanak Lassies formed out of a common love for Celtic music, and it clearly shows that they not only enjoy playing this music, but they also enjoy putting smiles on their audiences' faces.
