Description
The Madeleine Stewart Trio brings the rich tradition of transatlantic music to life with a dynamic blend of tunes from both sides of the Atlantic. The group features Madeleine Stewart (The Routes Quartet, Eriska) on fiddle, Rory Matheson (FARA, TRIP) on piano, and Craig Baxter (Gnoss, TRIP) on bodhrán. Originally hailing from New Hampshire, Madeleine was raised in the heart of the New England contra dance tradition and has since cultivated a uniquely expressive and spirited fiddle style, further refined in her adopted home of Glasgow. Her talents were recognized as she became a finalist in the 2023 BBC Young Traditional Musician of the Year competition.
Since forming in 2018, the trio has toured extensively across New England and Scotland, captivating audiences with performances at venues like Celtic Connections, where they “had the audience swinging” (Simon Thoumire). Their self-titled debut album, released in 2023, launched to a full house in Glasgow and was followed by a series of shows across Scotland. With their “barnstorming, toe-tapping energy” (Folk in Cornwall), the Madeleine Stewart Trio bring their vibrant sound to the special Fleecey Folk audience.
