Growing up steeped in the Boston Celtic music scene, these five young women began touring at an early age, quickly enchanting domestic and international audiences with their youthful enthusiasm, creative arrangements, and sensitive performances.
Described as "both very traditional and highly flexible" by Folkworld Magazine, this powerhouse quintet (Ava Montesi (fiddle), Caroline Dressler (fiddle), Giulia Haible (cello, piano), Julia Homa (fiddle, piano), and Maggie MacPhail (fiddle, piano) wows audiences with a luscious and exciting sound, at times five instruments sharing one voice and at other times a dynamic orchestra of harmony. Their years of friendship created a truly unique musical bond, that sends their music soaring from the stage.
Scottish Fish have performed at a wide variety of venues and festivals across the U.S. and Europe, including Boston Celtic Music Festival, Bellingham Celtic Festival, and Festival de Ortigueira. In 2017, the group released their debut album, "Splash," followed by "Tidings," a 5-track holiday EP, and “Upscale” in 2022. Their newest record, "Currently” was released in July 2025.
“Individually they are all creative and talented, and together they spark each other, pushing each other even further to make amazing music.” Scottish Fiddler Hanneke Cassel.
