Give Way... loosely meaning, “watch out, coming through” in Scotland, is just what you should be doing when it comes to this band.
Fiona Johnson, fiddle, guitar, piano, whistle and vocalist, Kirsty Johnson, piano, accordion and vocalist, Amy Johnson, drums and accordion, and Mairi Johnson, piano/keyboard, bass, and vocalist, combine to not only turn heads for their music and looks, but for the remarkable depth of material they bring to the fold.

Widely regarded as a composer - the classic Cape Breton jig, Spin-N-Glo, is one of his compositions - Frank Ferrel is considered to be one of the leading North American fiddlers performing today. In a recent Boston Globe article, music critic Scott Alarik referred to Mr. Ferrel as "One of the finest living masters," of that genre.

To find a unique voice on so ubiquitous an instrument as the acoustic guitar is quite an achievement: to do so within a centuries old idiom where the instrument has no real history is truly remarkable. In little over ten years as a professional musician Tony McManus has come to be recognised throughout the world as the leading guitarist in Celtic Music.

With an impressive discography and performance resume, including several industry awards and nominations, it can definitely be said that Halifax-based Sons of Maxwell have come a long way from Northern Ontario. The brothers began singing together while attending university and began a full-time music career soon after graduation. Don and Dave Carroll have done prolific work in a relatively short time and have developed a large, dedicated fan base. S.O.M has released several well-received all-original albums, music videos and have toured extensively, both nationally and abroad.
