Cig, one of Atlantic Canadas premiere traditional groups, is an ensemble of East Coast musicians originally forming to promote the Celtic Colours International Festival. In one explosive coming together, what was once solo acts on stage has amalgamated into one electrifying super group, picked as Penguin Eggs magazines 2014 #1 New Discovery internationally. With the fiery Celtic style as its musical core, Cig easily shifts between century old tunes of past generations to original and contemporary compositions, featuring the bands range of over a dozen instruments vocals, fiddles, piano, guitar, banjo, mandolin, viola, bouzouki, whistles, and more. With driving tunes, haunting songs, and infectious energy, Cig is an unparalleled musical force.
