Maine musician Owen Kennedy is an award-winning fiddler rooted in the Maine Maritime musical tradition and immersed in his growing passion for Scottish music, splitting time between Maine and Cape Breton.  Owen began playing the violin at four years old, taking lessons first with Ellen Gawler and later with Seán Heely.  He is the 2022 New England Regional Open Scottish Fiddle Champion, the 2021 Junior US National Scottish Fiddle Champion, and won the 2021 Young Stars of Maine "Glenn Jenks Future in Music" prize.  Owen’s debut album "Oh When: Now" was recorded with Owen Marshall and released in 2023.  Available on Bandcamp, “Oh When: Now” features tunes from Maine and Maritime Canada all the way to Scotland and the Shetland Islands.  Now spending part of each year in Cape Breton, Owen is studying Gaelic language and culture at Beinn Mhàbu and thriving in the rich musical landscape.  Owen has had the opportunity to learn from Gaelic speakers, culture-bearers, and musicians in the classroom and in the community as well as joining in jam sessions, attending square dances, and performing at local events.  Owen is super stoked to be part of Sap Line, playing tunes, singing songs, and having a blast with his friends!  To keep in touch with Owen, visit www.fiddlerokennedy.com or find him on social media @fiddlerokennedy. 

Fern Tamagini-O'Donnell has been playing fiddle since she was four years old. She started playing traditional music from around the Celtic world when she was eight, began studying old-style Irish dance at fourteen, and now, at twenty years old, is a seasoned performer of both. Her performing and recording career began with the Cape Cod based band Celtic Roots, but since then she has played with and had leadership positions with various groups and organizations around New England, including most notably Young Tradition Vermont's Touring Group and Youth Commission. She is currently finishing a two-year ethnomusicological study program and grant with her mentor Laurel Martin which was awarded to them by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, wherein they studied the different regional fiddling styles of Ireland and their influence in the wider scope of traditional music. She continues to study dance with Kieran Jordan, with a particular emphasis on Sean Nos dancing and the older set dances of the step dancing tradition. Sharing the music and keeping the tradition going remains her passion, and she is very excited to do it now with her friends in Sap Line!  She can be found online on Facebook and YouTube as Fern Tamagini-O'Donnell, and on Instagram as @the_fiddlehead.
