Jocelyn Pettit & Ellen Gira are a dynamic North American fiddle & cello duo. As 2024 Canadian Folk Music Award winners for “Traditional Album of the Year”, their album All It
Brings is hailed as “dazzling” (FolkWorld), and “simply exquisite” (Folk London).
Catch them on tour for an evening of high-energy tunes and soulful songs, with nuanced fiddle-cello interplay, vocal harmonies, lively stepdancing, and French Canadian foot
percussion.
Joining forces in Glasgow in 2018, Jocelyn Pettit & Ellen Gira were already two wellestablished musicians, who found together a kindred musical spirit. With Jocelyn on fiddle
and Ellen on cello, they fuse traditional and contemporary music styles to create a powerfully uplifting and soulful performance.
On stage, their instruments weave a rhythmic, textured sound with nuanced fiddle-cello interplay. Complemented with vocal harmonies and lively stepdancing, they bring life and
fire into original tunes, and high-energy repertoire from Scotland, Ireland, North America, and Scandinavia. FolkWorld Magazine calls them “A dazzling duo!”.
Jocelyn & Ellen have been gracing stages and delighting audiences in North America and the UK with their album, All It Brings. Awarded “Traditional Album of the Year” at the 2024
Canadian Folk Music Awards, FolkWales Magazine calls the album “Wonderful, captivating… the most joyous and uplifting album in the entire galaxy.”
The duo has been featured in live broadcasts on BBC Radio 3, and performed at festivals including Celtic Connections (UK), Vancouver Folk Music Festival (CAN), Summerfolk
Music Festival (CAN), Sutton Traditional Fiddle Festival (CAN), Celtic Colours International Festival (CAN), and New World Festival (USA).
