It was 2006 when, after establishing herself as an accomplished and agile pianist with a gift for melodies and a fluid, soulful voice, that Christiane Cargill decided to launch her first solo project. In doing so, she chose to explore her Scottish and Irish heritage.

"On this project, I've stepped back from the full band sound, as I wanted to make an intimate recording, capturing the mood and feel of Ireland and Scotland, and what those places have meant to me," Cargill said.

Her decision to make a Celtic album came from an overwhelming response to her performance of "Danny Boy," which was featured as a bonus track to anyone who pre-ordered the full-length Riddle the Sphinx CD entitled "Fun House."

"I've been performing a few of the Irish songs at a gig here and there, and I'm really excited about the response we've heard," Cargill said. "People really seem to connect with these traditional songs, and as an artist, it's a wonderful challenge to take these songs and try to make them my own."

Not only with the upcoming album "Metamorphosis" feature traditional songs, but four original songs as well. Cargill says she now has "the bug" for Celtic music, especially after opening for the Young Dubliners. And with her voice and skills...she's ready to take the Celtic music scene by storm.
