Medusa is Georgia Hathaway, Lea Kirstein, Marta Sołek, and Saskia Tomkins. Wielding forgotten fiddles that could turn classical music scholars to stone, these four folk musicians are reimagining the Western string quartet. By inviting back voices previously regarded as too ugly for “polite society,” Medusa tempts us to redefine what is beautiful.
With their Canadian Folk Music Award (CFMA) Nominated debut album, Medusa’s dynamic arrangement style cross-pollinates the sounds of Middle Eastern, Scandinavian, Celtic, Appalachian, and Eastern European music, as well as original tunes, to create something previously unheard. Get ready to stomp your feet, laugh, cry, and hear sounds you’ve never heard before with this electrifying chamber-folk band.
