Aerialists | Cowichan Performing Arts Centre

Adult $36 | Student/Child $18

At one moment a prog-rock band, the next an Irish-Scottish-Norwegian trad band, then an experimental indie-jazz band, then somehow all of these at once, Aerialists have alchemized diverse influences into a sound with striking clarity. It’s ethereal yet precise, technical yet visceral. Formed nearly a decade ago by harpist Màiri Chaimbeul, fiddler Elise Boeur, and guitarist Adam Iredale-Gray, now with three albums and a JUNO nomination under their belt, Aerialists have staked their claim on the leading edge of the neo-folk world.

Following the music’s transatlantic roots, Aerialists have toured their releases in Europe, including festival sets at Celtic Connections in Glasgow and Crossdorf Festival in Hamburg. Canadian highlights include Vancouver Folk Festival, Vancouver Jazz Festival, Kaslo Jazz Festival, Hillside Festival, Northern Lights Festival Bóreal, Deep Roots Festival, and touring from coast to coast. According to Folk Radio UK, “there are few folk outfits working today as interesting and unpredictable as Aerialists.”
