The Cottars are two time winners of the East Coast Music Awards. The quartet of young Cape Bretoners will heat up the stage and light up the spirits of all who hear them. The band is made up of two young brother-sister pairs, who deliver an ingenious, multifaceted take on the folk music of their native Nova Scotia on their U.S. debut, Forerunner. With their dynamic and riveting music, captivating vocals, assured stage presence, and joyous step-dancing, they preserve essential elements of their Celtic heritage. Simultaneously, they are expanding their tradition to include distinctly modern elements – new songs, harmonies, and arrangements – and winning a devoted, ever-growing following in the process.

The Cottars will play a free admission show in the Alumni Theatre on Thursday, Feb. 25
