Fiddler and composer Elizabeth Davidson-Blythe grew up in Boston, Massachusetts where she was introduced to Scottish traditional music at a young age through the playing of Hanneke Cassel.
After several years of accomplished classical playing, including performances with Yo-Yo Ma & The Silk Road Ensemble, she rediscovered her love of traditional music when studying abroad in Edinburgh. Within weeks, she was playing almost every night in some of Scotland’s best known music venues, including the infamous Royal Oak and Sandy Bell’s.
Now based in the Isle of Man, Elizabeth performs regularly around the world, having performed extensively across three continents, in countries including the USA, Canada, Australia, Costa Rica, Iceland, Spain, and Estonia, among others. She released her debut album, The Coast Road, with Manx musician Daniel Quayle in 2022, and the duo began releasing new singles at the end of 2024 in preparation for the release of their second album due out at the end of 2025.
