Solstice

​Solstice is one of Canada’s most exciting and prolific Celtic folk bands. Based in Montreal, Solstice have been delighting audiences across North America and Europe for over a decade with their explosive live performances showcasing their unique brand of Celtic folk that incorporates elements of Bluegrass and Canadian Maritime music. The band is comprised of Patrick Lesyk on acoustic guitar and lead vocals, Kate Bevan-Baker on fiddle, and Dave Gossage on flutes and whistles. Patrick is well-known for his dynamic and percussive guitar accompaniments, but it’s his warm and soulful voice that is most-recognized as being both powerful and sensitive. Kate’s fiddle is electrifying, yet also moving and emotive. Dave never fails to wow audiences with his wizardry on the flute and whistles. The success of the band is largely due to their impressive performance dexterity and musical sensibility which allow them to appeal to a wide range of audiences, making them a mainstay in the Canadian music scene.
