Rooted in the traditional, members of this award winning trio celebrate the music of the Irish and Francophone cultures they share, infuse their original compositions and traditional standard tunes with modern and world rhythms and interpretations to create an infectious energy and unique sound that speaks to all ages.
Building on a base of much loved traditional Maritime music with a good dose of originality, innovation and humour, the band grabs both French and English audience right from the first note. They easily connect with their listeners while they create an atmosphere that is pure fun.
Milestones saw the group making waves on both English and Francophone venues at the 2011 and 2012 ECMAs and their début bilingual album, TRI, was awarded MUSIC PEI’s 2012 Roots Traditional Recording of the Year and was nominated for the 2012 ECMA Roots Traditional Group Recording of the Year. Ever traveling more often and further afield, the group was nominated for Music PEI’s 2013 SpinCount Touring Artists of the Year.
Touted as “the busiest and hardest working band on PEI, ….playing seemingly everywhere…”, the group now includes some of Maritime Canada’s major folk music festivals on their resume, having performed at The Stan Rogers Folk Festival, The Halifax Urban Folk Festival and The Canadian Irish Festival as well as The Festival of Small Halls and numerous. local French & English music festivals and cultural events closer to home.
For the second consecutive summer the group hosted daily weekday ceilidhs at the Prince Edward Island Preserve Company’s Garden Theater in New Glasgow, PEI.
Musical Influences include bands Solas, Kila, Vishten, Flook, Lou, songwriters Stan Rogers and Lennie Gallant and fiddler Roy Johnstone. The group counts themselves part of the Sunday seisiún players at the Old Triangle Alehouse in Charlottetown.
These three young musicians and best friends, high school senior and university freshmen, Jesse Périard, and brothers Rowen Gallant and Caleb Gallant, hailing from the North Shore of Prince Edward Island are having the time of their lives immersed in the music they love and performing together as Ten Strings And A Goat Skin.
“…the young trio has steadily made a huge name all over the Maritimes over the past two years and has seemingly played absolutely everywhere,….this on-fire fiddle/guitar/percussion trio have harnessed a traditional spirit between them that is completely intoxicating, playing everything from French to Irish to even Gypsy music. You just never know where their ceaseless energy will take you next.” - Todd Maclean – The Guardian
