Ashley MacIsaac - Ashley MacIsaac

MacIsaac’s roller-coaster ride has taken him from the heights of celebrity (collaborations with composer Phillip Glass and Talking Head David Byrne) to the depths of controversy (revelations about personal bankruptcy and kinky predilections). Now the virtuoso fiddler has bounced back with a new record deal and a confident album that features duets with Gaelic singer Mary Jane Lamond and Default’s Dallas Smith as well as his own impressive vocal debut on “Lay Me Down.” His fiddling, of course, remains dazzling.
