Artist Bio:
A four-piece contemporary Celtic trad band from Milwaukee, Atlantic Wave delivers a mix of Irish and Scottish songs and tunes with a distinctly Cape Breton flair and a penchant for original interpretations and diverse influences. Featuring a pair of dueling harmonizing fiddlers, a guitarist-singer, and a bouzouki-bodhran player, the band also frequently throws in other instruments like accordion, hurdy gurdy, and tap shoes. The four have been together since 2004, when they formed out of the Irish music scene in southeast Wisconsin. They maintain close ties with fellow musicians in Canada, Scotland, and Ireland, whose influences can be heard on their recordings and especially at their live shows, where they are known for their frequent off-the-cuff, unrehearsed long sets of fired-up tunes.
