Bring it on! Celtic Music, East Coast Style Music, Kitchen Parties ... from two performers to ten in the Frantically Atlantic roster! Did I mention that we teach barn dances, spoon playing and bodhran instructions. We are an all inclusive group and we love it when musicians join us for a few of their favourite East Coast Style gems!

We had a lovely time playing unplugged at the Village of Gagetown Farmers Market. We love wandering around .... Such wonderful people 🎵🎻🙂
Being unplugged allows us to roam around free of microphones, cables, speakers and the like!
