The McDades Biography
Crafting a new Canadian sound!
Punching through the walls of tradition, The McDades' Celtic-rooted music fuses the spontaneity of Jazz improvisation and infectious global rhythms. The Juno Award winners' cutting edge sound is the perfect complement to their fiery performances.
At the heart of the group are siblings Shannon, Solon and Jeremiah who grew up playing Canadian folk music alongside their parents and among artists from around the world; a unique upbringing that led to a love and respect for all music. Their compositions and innovative arrangements are characterized by stunning virtuosity and near-telepathic interaction on stage. With vocal harmonies that can only come from a family, and an obvious love for each other and their music, the McDades' sound is immersed in the spirit of improvisation. Combining original tunes and unique interpretations of traditional songs, their performances feature both energetic instrumentals and moving vocals performed in English and French. This compelling and dynamic group "Finds their groove somewhere between a down-home kitchen party, a jazzy after hours club and a folk festival." (London Free Press)
The McDades are winners of the Juno award for Best Roots Album (Group) and two Canadian Folk Music Awards.
Winners of the 2023 Canadian Folk Music Awards for Best Vocal Group
Their new album "The Empress" continues to highlight the group's sound and irresistible groove.
