Scottish Fish
Origins Unwrapped
Scottish Fish present a fiddle-forward folk infusion of original and traditional Scottish and Cape Breton music.
After growing up steeped in the Boston Celtic music scene, the five young women of Scottish Fish began touring at an early age, quickly enchanting domestic and international audiences with their youthful enthusiasm, creative arrangements, and sensitive performances.
As described by a concertgoer, ‘this powerhouse quintet wows listeners with a luscious and exciting sound, at times five instruments sharing one voice, and at others a dynamic orchestra of harmony. Their years of friendship cultivate a truly unique musical bond. Their love for each other and the music they create is a gift they offer to anyone willing to listen.’
In their decade of bandhood, the Fish have performed at a wide variety of venues and festivals across the U.S. and Europe, including Celtic Connections (Scotland), Festival Interceltique de Lorient (France), and Festival de Ortigueira (Spain). Their music and performances have earned them features on WGBH, KALW, and in American Girl and Folkworld Magazines; attracted the attention of programmes such as America’s Got Talent; and secured an international audience of over four hundred thousand followers across social media platforms.
In 2017, the group released their debut album, Splash, and followed it with Tidings, a 5-track holiday EP, in 2019. Upscale, produced by pianist and composer Neil Pearlman, was released in October, 2022, marking the band’s ten-year anniversary. Scottish Fish’s newest record Currently was released in July, 2025.
Scottish Fiddler Hanneke Cassel has described the Scottish Fish sound as ‘both incredibly musical and just a little unusual.’
‘Individually they are all creative and talented,’ writes Cassel, ‘and together they spark each other, pushing each other even further to make amazing music.’
This event will last approximately 2 hours, including an interval.
