Known for their fiery performances, The McDades' consist of a group of siblings, Shannon, Solon and Jeremiah, who grew up playing Canadian folk music alongside their parents and among other artists from around the world. Not your typical upbringing, but this sort of exposure helped to forge a love and respect for all types of music, which is evident in their sound, which can be classified as rooted in Celtic tradition, but meshed with the improvisation of jazz and other rhythmic sounds from around the world.

What this diversity has taught The McDades was simply what it meant to be a Canadian musician. They love music. They love family. They love each other. And their sound is immersed in improvisation, which is brilliantly accomplished each time.

The McDades are not only dynamic, but they bring an energy to their sound. One that captivates and audience, gets their feet tapping, their hands clapping and leaves them wanting a lot more. This family knows their music...and you should know their sound, their music, their energy. Check them out. You won't be disappointed.
