Jennifer Roland Band

Cape Breton

Jennifer was nine years old when she began studying the fiddle with Kyle MacNeil of the world renowned Barra MacNeils. In 1997, Jennifer released her debut CD, and went on to wow crowds in Canada and internationally with her enthusiastically performed jigs, reels and strathspeys and the delicate touch of her slow airs. Jennifer's third album, For Each New Day, is an energetic mixture of traditional and original material produced by Allie Bennett. The album was nominated for a 2007 East Coast Music Award in the Instrumental Recording of the Year category.

Jennifer will be performing with her band during the festival, including Jason Kempt on keyboards, Lyndon MacKenzie on guitar, Allie Bennett on bass and Keith Mullins on percussion.
