Còig is one of Atlantic Canada’s most exciting Celtic traditional groups. With a fiery Celtic style as their musical core, Rachel Davis & Darren McMullen, accompanied by Zakk Cormier, offer a fresh and exhilarating mix of traditional tunes, lively instrumentals and contemporary songs performed on over a dozen instruments (vocals, fiddles, guitar, banjo, mandolin, viola, bouzouki, whistles, and more)-in a lot of non-traditional ways! Shifting between century-old tunes of past generations to original and upbeat compositions with infectious energy, Còig is an unparalleled music force.
The musical trio features the superb talents of Rachel Davis on fiddle and vocals, and the musical musings of multi-instrumentalist Darren McMullen, and Zakk Cormier on guitar.
They have assembled a mantle full of awards and nominations for both their solo recordings and with Còig for five recordings, including two Canadian Folk Music Awards, a JUNO nomination, and multiple East Coast Music Awards. Combining traditional folk tunes and contemporary songs, their lively stage show has won them fans across North America, Europe and Australia.
