Richard Wood is a high-energy fiddler from Prince Edward Island known for a "bow-shredding" style that blends traditional Celtic tunes with a rock-star stage presence. A master of both the fiddle and step-dancing, he often performs both simultaneously, bringing an athletic, percussive drive to the Doryman stage. Whether playing lightning-fast reels or soulful airs, Richard is a fan favorite whose explosive performances are a staple of the East Coast music circuit.

Hilda Chiasson is a powerhouse of the Cape Breton music scene, widely regarded as one of the finest piano accompanists in the Celtic world. Her rhythmic, percussive style is the "engine room" for many of the Doryman’s most legendary fiddle sets, providing the perfect backbone for high-velocity performers. A veteran of the international touring circuit, she remains a local favorite in Chéticamp for her uncanny ability to anticipate every lift and turn of a fiddler’s bow.
