Maine musician Owen Kennedy is an award-winning fiddler rooted in the Maine Maritime tradition and immersed in his growing passion for Scottish music, splitting time between Maine and Cape Breton where he's studying Gaelic language, culture, and music at Beinn Mhàbu.  Owen's love of traditional music and enthusiasm for performing has taken him all over New England, up to Maritime Canada, and over to Scotland and Shetland, where he has played with the Pineland Fiddlers, the Young Tradition Vermont Touring Group and the Youth Commission (now Sap Line) and in duos with Seán Heely, Ethan Tischler, and Ben Foss.  Owen is the 2022 New England Regional Open Scottish Fiddle Champion, and the 2021 Junior US National Scottish Fiddle Champion.  His debut album "Oh When: Now" recorded with Owen Marshall features tunes from the Maine Maritime tradition as well as newer favorites from Scotland, Cape Breton, and Shetland.
