Natalie MacMaster is a globally–acclaimed Cape Breton fiddle player who has appeared on numerous CBC, CTV and PBS TV shows and sold over 200,000 albums. Donnell Leahy is the incendiary musical leader of double Platinum–selling, festival–headlining Celtic family group Leahy.

The two musical prodigies met as teenagers, found individual massive career success, and eventually reconnected and were married. They never, however, found the opportunity to record together — until now.

It was a chance meeting with legendary producer Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper, Deep Purple) — who recruited Justin Cortelyou (Taylor Swift, Ke$ha, Alan Jackson) to co–produce — that led to the recording sessions in Cape Breton. The result is quite possibly the best fiddle album ever recorded.

The pair have over 100 confirmed PAC shows in 2015 — the majority of dates sold out in advance — billed as Visions From Cape Breton and Beyond, a show which will feature many of the songs from One.
