Natalie
MacMaster
Traditional
and Pop music Celtic Fiddler from Nova ScotiaI
love to dance! And I love Celtic music. But every time I try to put my feet in
motion while performing on stage, I'm sure I look downright foolish. That is one
thing you could NOT say about Natalie MacMaster. But then I haven't been step
dancing from the age of five or playing the fiddle since the age of 9. Natalie
MacMaster has, and her "Roots Are Showing" as a result. She has years
of training and her love of Celtic music and music of Cape Breton, where she grew
up, shows as is evidenced by her latest
"Willie Fraser" an MP3
from from Natalie's latest album, "My Roots Are Showing".  I
won't claim to be an expert on her music though. I saw her a year ago at a Chieftains
concert. And she blew me away. Now listening to some of her free MP3s has me more
amazed than ever.She is the Celtic Pop hero of our time, performing music that
crosses musical boundaries from traditional to modern. And she has the vitality
that is only heard in bubble gum pop, but here you have good music.
"Willie
Fraser" is a great example. It's reel good toe tapper and I could almost
see her step dancing along. Natalie
MacMaster's success is growing in leaps in bounds and recently she won the "Roots/Traditional
Solo Artist of the Year" awards at the 2000 East Coast Music Awards. Expect
great things to come further from this hot Celtic artist. Website:
