Award-Winning Fiddler Ivonne Hernandez & Aisling return to Hermann’s with Oliver Swain and Quin with one N.
Ivonne Hernandez is Victoria’s most acclaimed roots musician who’s work as a performer and educator is already legendary in acoustic music circles around the world. 2017 JUNO winner, 2x Canadian Folk Music Award Winner, 2x Western Canadian Music Award Winner and 5x Grand North American Fiddle Champion. Ivonne’s brilliance will be on full display with her all-star band featuring Jeremy Walsh, Jaime Troy, and Oliver Swain.
Oliver Swain has been a celebrated musician for years, held in high regard in acoustic and folk music styles for both his astonishing instrumental and vocal abilities, though he seldom gives the genre a fully traditional treatment. Oliver Swain strays towards the whimsical, the spiritual, and the socially conscious side of what he likes to refer to as “chamber folk odyssey”, and it’s these beguiling and provocative elements that make him unique as an artist and songwriter. Devon Leger even called him “The Zen Rock Garden of old-time music” No Depression
“This is genre-defying at it’s best… beautifully played and performed, each song a mini-masterpiece.” — Paul Jackson, Fatea magazine UK
Quin Etheridge-Pedden is a young emerging musician in British Columbia. He started taking fiddle lessons at a young age and is now performing all around the province. He also plays guitar and sings, performing a lot of his originals as well as covers. As well as performing as a solo act, Quin is in several groups (Fiddelium, Queue The Music, Kadence and The Neighbours). In each band, he plays different styles of music including Irish, Celtic, folk, rock, bluegrass, and pop. Quin’s knowledge of music of different genres and experience playing in different groups has allowed him to create a solo ‘one-man-band’ using a loop pedal, multiple effects, les pieds, his guitar, and voice.
