Step dancing, fiddle and guitar! How exciting is that!?
The explosive Pierre Schryer Trio, (fiddler Pierre, folk dancer Danielle Enblom, and International guitarist Adam Dobres) brings together three diverse music careers laden with nominations and awards including JUNOs and Canadian Folk Music accolades.
Pierre Schryer is one of Canada鈥檚 leading traditional fiddlers. A recipient of numerous titles and awards, including Canadian Grand Masters Champion and North American Irish Fiddle Champion, Pierre truly captivates an audience with his energy and genuine warmth. His ability knows no bounds, covering styles from Irish, Scottish, Qu茅becois, and Cape Breton to Canadian Old Time, American Swing and more.
Minnesota step dancer Danielle Enblom, with Red River M茅tis, French Canadian and Swedish ancestral roots, will dance and perform the old Irish dancing master traditions, along with some flavours of her own M茅tis and Qu茅b茅cois heritage.
Guitarist Adam Dobres plays Bluegrass, Celtic, Jazz, Gypsy, Country, Folk, Old Time, Rock, Blues, and more. He has travelled and performed throughout North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. From playing Celtic music with some of Canada鈥檚 finest fiddle players Adam has branched out to Pop Rock with Grammy Nominee Toni Childs (including an Australian tour where they opened for the legendary Jackson Brown).
The show will surely delight. Schryer, Enblom and Dobres is a tour de force of versatility, fine musicianship, technical dexterity and toe tapping fun!
