[HALIFAX] – Nova Scotian sisters Cassie & Maggie MacDonald announce the release of their latest album, “The Willow Collection” and Maritime album tour dates. Cassie & Maggie are lighting up the world with their unique blend of traditional and contemporary Celtic Roots music. No wonder Live Ireland Radio awarded them their prestigious “Female Singer of the Year” award in 2016.
The band has been awarded numerous awards, including Live Ireland Radio’s 2015 “New Group of the Year;” Chicago Irish-American Newspaper’s “Female Vocal Album of the Year;” the Independent Music Awards “World Song of the Year” nomination; as well as recipients of multiple Canadian Folk Music, East Coast Music, and Music Nova Scotia Award nominations.
Cassie and Maggie are ready to embark on a Maritime album launch tour, which kicks off at The Old Triangle in Halifax on March 3. “Be it their foot percussion accompanying driving Nova Scotian sets, or their perfect blend of sibling harmonies, added to a stunning interplay with various instruments, a musical evening spent with Cassie and Maggie is a great night, altogether… Their new album, The Willow Collection “showcases not only their musical ability, but the depth and variety of their musicianship” (LiveIreland.com).
