SCOTTISH FISH—Wednesday, September 30 door opens at 7, music at 7:30
We’ve been after this gang for a while now–five fiddle-forward voices that move like one, who grew up in the Boston Celtic scene (no, not that Boston Celtic scene) and started touring together so young they’re now a decade in. This month they let us know they had a rare night off. They’ve played dozens of festivals, turned up on WGBH and in American Girl Magazine, and picked up 400,000-plus followers along the way. American fiddler (and Scottish National fiddle champion) Hanneke Cassel called their sound “incredibly musical, and just a little unusual” — the kind of thing that might happen when five people who’ve known each other forever keep pushing each other further. Four albums in, most recently this July’s “Currently,” they’re still finding it.
