About the Band
Three Fiddles, One Driving Sound
These dynamic women are veterans of the stage and studio, with a collective 16 years as the fiddlers with the Irish-American supergroup Gaelic Storm. Formed in 2020, the group was commissioned to produce online concerts for the Spanish Peaks Irish Festival and Pittsburgh Irish Festival — and just one year later, they hit the main stage at Pittsburgh Irish Festival, debuting their stunning original compositions, rich harmonies, and driving traditional tunes arranged for three fiddles, guitar, and double bass.
In 2023, they released their debut album Sailing On, packed with gorgeous original compositions as well as uniquely arranged traditional tunes from Ireland, Scotland, and Galicia. Since then, The Bow Tides have been headlining at festivals across the United States, including the nation's largest — the Milwaukee Irish Festival.

She is best known for the six years she spent touring internationally with Irish-American supergroup Gaelic Storm, with whom she recorded three #1 Billboard World Music hit albums. She runs a busy music school teaching violin, fiddle, and piano, and co-produces the annual international fiddle school Fiddle Frenzy with her colleagues from The Bow Tides.
