Denis moved on and became Canada’s 7x Country Music (CCMA) Fiddle, Mandolin and Banjo Player of the Year between 2011 and 2022. Megan has performed on stages around the globe as a featured violinist in Dubai, Monaco, Canada and the USA for Bollywood, film and live.
Both Denis and Megan were original members and creators of the world violin group “Barrage” and “The Calgary Fiddlers”. They travelled the globe extensively as spokespeople and featured performers playing fiddle, mandolin, guitar and piano. They were played on every PBS station across North America in “Barrage, The World on Stage”.
Songwriters In-the-Round
The following artists will appear on stage with the Charms as part of the of the opening In-The-Round songwriter spotlight.
Taylor Lang
A lifelong musician and storyteller, Taylor Lang delivers stories and music in a seldom-seen, genre-bending fusion of folk and fingerstyle. Drawing on previous experiences in award-winning bands, his latest project is a four-song collaboration with JUNO-winning producer Russell Broom, two of which have already been released
Craig McIvor
Craig McIvor never shies away from emotion or connection. Songwriting became his lane for expressing both with clarity and honesty. He just released his first album, Solving the Happiness Equation, and feels like he’s truly found the formula, turning real reflection into authentic music that still feels a little like magic.
