Tom, Kerry, and Julie Fitzgerald have earned awards in their native land for their musicianship, and are gaining acclaim throughout North American for their action-packed crowd-pleasing shows. Tom Fitzgerald who plays fiddle and guitar, step-dances and provides vocals, has toured professionally since he was ten years old; in 2012, he won the Canadian Grand Master Fiddle Championship as a first time competitor. Kerry Fitzgerald, an Ontario Open Step-dance champion and a Canadian Grand Master fiddle finalist, also plays keyboards, and sings, as does her sister Julie Fitzgerald, who is a two-time Canadian Grand Masters Fiddle Champion and a two-time Open Step-dance Champion. According to Mr. Warner, the trio continues to push boundaries by fusing traditional and modern styles of fiddle and dance to create their own unique sounds and style.
