Jamie Laval:
Recognized throughout the U.S. and Scotland as one of the premier
performers of traditional Scottish music on the international music scene
today, Jamie Laval creates rapt audiences with his passionate, virtuosic
performances, uncanny imitation of Highland bagpipes, and engaging stories.
Currently making his home in Tryon, North Carolina, USA, Jamie studied
classical violin at the Victoria Conservatory of Music in British Columbia.
In 2002 Jamie won the U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Championship which
launched his full-time career in Celtic music.
“One of the hottest fiddlers out there” (Asheville Citizen-Times) and “The
next Alasdair Fraser” (Press & Post), Laval performed for Her Majesty the
Queen, appeared on Dave Matthews’ platinum “Some Devil” album, and
presented a TEDx Talk on the value of arts and music in our communities.
“Murmurs and Drones,” Laval’s third and most recent album, won the popular
vote for “Best World Traditional Album” in the 2012 Independent Music
Awards. Laval is also skilled composer, arranger of symphonic scores, and a
devoted educator.
