MacLeod and Belsher met in 2002 when she recorded her award-winning debut album “Head Over Heels” at his Guernsey Cove studio. They toured extensively for a few years after that across Canada, and into the U.S.
After a successful tour to New England in May of 2023 for the first time since 2007, they are looking forward to returning in April of 2024.
MacLeod is one of Prince Edward Island’s finest ambassadors of traditional music carving a distinct style of fiddling that embraces both her local roots and her ancestral connection to the Scottish Highlands. Since the beginning of her career as a young teenager. She has spent more than 15 years on stages on PEI, across Canada, into the U.S., and as far abroad as Cuba and Japan, astounding audiences with her entertainingly unique performance style.
