Nova Scotia-born duo Cassie and Maggie MacDonald branch out from their deep Celtic roots, exploring traditions ranging from Appalachian and Ozark ballads to country classics. On The Willow Collection (release: November 4, 2016), they shine on vocals, fiddle, guitar, piano, accordion, and even stepdancing, exploring the willow’s emotionally powerful role as folk symbol. The album release is accompanied by a November tour of the Northeast US.
