Impromptu trio Trois Katz brings together seasoned Vancouver-area musicians with a shared passion for vibrant folk traditions. Fiddler Prairie Wolfe has spent over two decades crafting a rhythmic and driving fiddle style influenced by Scottish, Cape Breton, and French Canadian traditions. As the leader of the contra dance band Ground Effect, she channels a dynamic energy that gets feet moving and pulses racing. Accordion and concertina virtuoso Jenny White, a regular at Vancouver’s sessions, farmers markets, music camps, and dances, is known for her deep love of Irish, Old-time, and Quebecois music. Her musical journey is a lifelong adventure, driven by her desire to explore and master the diverse instruments and styles that fuel her passion. Chika Buston, an acoustic fingerstyle guitarist, adds a unique, eclectic flair to the mix. With an expansive range of influences, Chika is a familiar face in BC’s folk music scene, where she plays with a deft touch that seamlessly complements the ensemble’s sound and propels dancers on the dance floor.
