  • Summary

  • Hi, I'm Brad Reid, I love Cape Breton fiddle music, and I "play well with others" (said all of my school teachers except for the first, who said I had an attitude problem). I have my own story of how I connect with this music, and I love to hear other people’s stories. They may be mostly fiddlers ('cause that's how I roll), but there will also be guitar players, piano players, dancers, and anyone else whose path I cross. Why me? I’ve played music around the world - from ceilidhs, to cruise ships, to Cirque du Soleil - and found I can relate to just about anyone. : ) Attitude problem my foot!
