Description: Roots music with the drive of bluegrass – that’s the sound of Shearwater, a trio from Vancouver Island that blends fine duet harmonies with scorching picking. Shearwater is fronted by acclaimed singer-bassist Tammy Fassaert, and features guitarist Dave Clarke and hot young mandolinist James Whittall. This dynamic trio's groove pays homage to various acoustic styles, from country and bluegrass to Celtic and folk, with even some Caribbean flavour thrown in for good measure! Their signature sound comes from combining refined vocal harmonies with blistering instrumental duets, and is what one veteran music writer called "Island drive," referring to the group’s laid-back acoustic sensibility and highly charged playing. This is a show you don’t want to miss!
