Alasdair White & Ross Martin

Two of Scotland’s finest traditional musicians, Alasdair White (Fiddle) and Ross Martin (Guitar), join forces this February for a rare Pacific Northwest duo tour. Though they live on opposite sides of the Atlantic - White in New York City and Martin in Lochaber - their music is deeply rooted in the powerful and timeless traditions of the Scottish West coast. As two fifths of Gaelic supergroup, Dàimh (pronounced ‘Dive’), they bring the same ethos of ’straight in the eye Highland music’ to a duo setting.

From Arisaig in the West Highlands, renowned guitarist, Ross Martin is probably on your favorite Scottish album. His distinctive approach to accompaniment - rhythmic, driving, and full of nuance - has made him a sought-after collaborator and a backbone of contemporary Scottish traditional music.

Alasdair White is widely regarded as one of the leading exponents of Scottish music touring, teaching and performing today on both sides of the Atlantic. His deep rooted yet wide-ranging musicality reflects his Isle of Lewis birthplace, current New York City home, and over 20 years globe-trotting with some of the best known names in traditional music including Dàimh and Battlefield Band.

Together, Alasdair and Ross create an expansive musical partnership that thrives in a live setting - with driving dance tunes and resonant Gaelic airs that capture the spirit of the Highlands and Islands. Their Pacific Northwest tour offers audiences a rare chance to hear this duo in full flight: Two masters at the top of their craft, bringing the Gaidheltachd to venues thousands of miles from home.
