Medusa

Hailing from Toronto, Canada, Medusa are four folk musicians reimagining the Western string quartet.

With their debut album nominated for a 2024 Canadian Folk Music Award for Instrumental Group of the Year, Medusa’s dynamic arrangement style cross-pollinates the sounds of Middle Eastern, Scandinavian, Celtic, Appalachian, and Eastern European music as well as original tunes, to create something previously unheard.

Medusa is Georgia Hathaway, Lea Kirstein, Marta Sołek, and Saskia Tomkins (originally from the UK and now based in Canada). Their immediate and electrifying connection is showcased through their common string language, a love of enigmatic and obscure folk fiddles and their personal stories.
