THE FIDDLE CHICKS!
The Fiddle Chicks started out as a musical experiment, creating a unique minimalist sound. From their inspiring originals to unique arrangements of songs from the rich heritage of folk music, The Fiddle Chicks have proven themselves to be one of SA’s most endearing and original acts. Their musical style ranges from Traditional Celtic, European, Gypsy, Blues and Roots and American Folk, but it is their original compositions and rich fiddle soundscapes utilising some clever digital effects, which really shine through. Winners of APRA’s 2008 “Emily Burrows Award” & 8 SA Folk Awards 2006-8.
The Fiddle Chicks perform at Festivals all around Australia...and a wide variety of venues throughout Adelaide as well.

The Fiddle Chicks are not to be missed, their superb arrangements and magical playing makes this one amazing show.Final word: Mesmerising."

"Emma and Dee were in scintillating form. Their fiddle playing was breathtakingly beautiful. They are very clever. They can effortlessly shift the mood, taking the audience with them – from the romantic to the dramatic; from traditional style to contemporary. And they can sing too.."
