The Crowfoot Musicians are
Adam Broome
Born and raised in rural England to a life full of music, theatre and dance, Adam was inspired by the folk scene in the mid-seventies to take up the guitar and began writing songs and tunes. Completely self taught, his playing style is influenced by exploration into musical genres as diverse as Renaissance and Reggae. He has worked as a musician on the theatre stage and with various bands in the UK and America. He lives in Maine.
Jaige Trudel
Jaige’s love for creating music was evident from an early age. She began playing the violin at six years old, and later took up the cello. After nine years of classical study she discovered an affinity for Celtic music. She began fiddling for local dances while absorbing repertoire and styles from other traditional musicians. Her own technique has apparent Irish and Appalachian influences coupled with a strong rhythmic drive and a sweet, clear tone. Maine is home when she is not touring, where she teaches, gardens and is a practicing astrologer.
Nicholas Williams
Nicholas Williams studied world music, composition, and improvisation at York University in Toronto. Since graduating in 1998, he has immersed himself in the traditional dance music of Ireland, Scotland, Brittany, and Québec. He has performed across North America and the U.K., and has recorded as a producer and a guest artist on many CDs, including 2 solo releases. Nicholas also has a passion for classical Indian music, and studies with the Bansuri master Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia. He currently lives in Montreal.
