Easily the most thrilling combo to emerge from Atlantic Canada since the demise of The Dardanelles, Rum Ragged’s combined instrumental wizardry and unique, captivating, traditional song selections knock all opposition into a cocked hat.  While initially formed by Aaron Collis (accordion) and Mark Manning (guitar and vocals), they’ve since added Zach Marsh (multi-instrumentalist), and Colin Grant (fiddle). Grant, a wonderful Cape Breton fiddler and former member of Còig, offers boundless energy and an occasional divergence from a repertoire gleaned largely from some of the most colourful, rural outposts around Newfoundland. Their sterling musicianship and rare collection of songs has been recognized on numerous occasions by such national organisations as The Junos and The Canadian Folk Music Award
