Theresa Morrison
|
Theresa's Gaelic accenting could perhaps be compared to
Alex Francis MacKay and, like Alex F., she chose pianist
Gordon MacLean as her accompanist.
Theresa also has a newer CD. Titled Lake
Bras D'Or, on it she is accompanied by Doug
MacPhee.

This is fiddler Theresa Morrison's first recording. Years
of experience make her music as flavourful as any you may
have heard. The repertoire includes tunes which are ancient
as the hills, as well as others that Theresa composed
herself. Originally from Washabuck, a community along the
shores of the Bras d'or Lakes, seven of her brothers and
sisters played the violin, the most well known being her
older brother the late Joe
MacLean.
