"If Gillian Welch, Steve Earle and Alison Krauss had a collective love-child, their offspring might sound like Madison Violet."
Both originally hailing from Scottish small towns in Canada, Brenley MacEachern and Lisa MacIsaac collectively known as Madison Violet are now a Toronto based duo. Consisting of Lisa MacIsaac (vocals, guitar, fiddle, mandolin) and Brenley MacEachern (vocals, guitar, banjo, harmonica), together they've toured the globe non-stop for over 9 years, from Antigonish to Australia, Geneva to Grenada.
With two recordings under their belt, both which were recorded in London, UK with producer John Reynolds (Sinead O'Connor, U2, Damien Dempsey) Madison Violet have found themselves on the music industry's radar. Guest appearances on their albums by Clare Kenny (Indigo Girls, Shakespear's Sister), Fiachna O'Braonain (Hothouse Flowers, Michelle Shocked) and Julian Wilson (Grand Drive) were a welcome addition to the mix.
Their first release, Worry The Jury garnered a handful of ECMA award nominations (Best New Group and Pop Album of the Year) and had the industry opening their eyes wide at an emerging career that was destined to blossom.
Caravan, their sophomore release, went towards a more alt-country direction, which garnered them 2 ECMA awards nominations in the Folk album of the Year and Best Group Recording categories as well as a Canadian Folk Award nomination for Vocal Group of the Year.
