Richard Young, who hails from Prince Edward Island, is turning the folk world on its head. He has already been called the Nigel Kennedy of folk music, for his awesome talent and thoroughly unconventional approach to live performance, which involves the sort of lighting effects and pyrotechnics usually associated with rock concerts. Richard masterfully retains the resounding beauty of the traditional folk fiddle while interweaving the deep beats of a modern sound, and for a band of only three - this sound is deceptively multi-layered.
