(Harvard, Mass) Since 2007, notloB has presented 220 not-for-profit folk, Celtic, old-time, bluegrass, and progressive string concerts in unique venues throughout the greater Boston area, and in Harvard since 2019. Following in the tradition of presenting premier Celtic musicians (The Tannehill Weavers, Natalie Haas, Hanneke Cassel, Andrea Beaton, Wendy MacIsaac, Katie McNally), are the 2024 Canadian Folk Music Awards “Traditional Album of the Year” winners Jocelyn Pettit & Ellen Gira, a dynamic fiddle & cello duo. Fusing traditional and contemporary music styles, they create a powerfully uplifting and soulful performance, weaving a rhythmically driving and textured sound. Complemented by lively stepdancing, they bring life and fire into original tunes, songs, and high-energy repertoire from Scotland, Ireland, North America, and Scandinavia.
Each an accomplished musician in their own right, with extensive performance history and accolades, Jocelyn & Ellen first joined forces in Glasgow in 2018. Since then, the duo has been gracing stages and captivating audiences in North America, the UK, and Europe. They have been featured in live broadcasts on BBC Radio 3 and Sweden Radio P2, and performed at festivals including Vancouver Folk Music Festival (CAN), Harrison Festival of the Arts (CAN), Summerfolk Music Festival (CAN), Celtic Colours International Festival (CAN), Celtic Connections (UK), New World Festival (USA), and Urkult Festival (SWE).
Jocelyn & Ellen were also nominated for “Instrumental Artist of the Year” at the 2024 Western Canadian Music Awards. A new album, Here To Stay, was released on June 3, 2025.
