Andrew Finn Magill

North Carolina-native violinist/fiddler Andrew Finn Magill grew up studying traditional Irish music, oldtime, bluegrass and swing every summer with the best fiddlers in the world at the Swannanoa Gathering. He is a Fulbright Fellow, South Arts Emerging Traditional Artist, North Carolina Arts Council Fellow, All-Ireland fiddle finalist, and signed to Ropeadope Records.  He has been featured on MTV-U, PBS, and multiple times on NPR. His 2016 album, "Roots" debuted at number #46 on the folk DJ charts, and he has performed with artists including Rising Appalachia and Grammy nominees John Doyle and Trio Brasileiro. He tours with many artists including Merlefest songwriting-winner Anya Hinkle, as well his own original music quartet. Finn also tours the country as a guest lecturer at universities presenting his interactive performance/lecture "The connections between the fiddling traditions of Ireland, Scotland and the U.S."  Says legendary Americana artist & Grammy-winner Tim O'Brien: ""I'm gonna keep listening for Finn Magill."   ​"The solo concert Finn gave at our Fellowship felt like traveling to other cultures and continents with an enthusiastic musical tour guide! From Ghana to Ireland to the Appalachian mountains, we got to experience an incredible variety of music exquisitely performed." - Sara Davis, Music Director Miami Valley UU Church "What sets him apart from other virtuoso violinists and fiddlers is his incredible range of musical interests". - Willard Watson Program & Outreach Director, Blowing Rock Art & History Museum "He interlaced musical pieces with information on the history of Celtic music in the south, his personal journey and connection to the music, and humor." - Stephenie Berggrun, CIT NC Certified Environmental Educator Schiele Museum of Natural History
