MacMaster ’s family ties and roots to Cape Breton and her Scottish heritage remain strong despite her popular success. MacMaster was born to a musical family in 1973 in Troy, Inverness, on Cape Breton, a Nova Scotia island off Canada ’s east coast. Since 1997 she has been voted best fiddle player in addition to a host of other awards received at the Canadian Country Music Awards and Canadian Juno Awards. Her pop-star looks don ’t hurt, either -the vivacious stage performer is blonde, slender, attractive, and outgoing. MacMaster ’s musical talent and flair is likely in her blood -popular young fiddler Ashley Maclsaac is her cousin, and Buddy MacMaster, the influential and veteran fiddler, is her great-uncle. She kept closer to tradition on My Roots Are Showing, her collection of traditional Celtic and Cape Breton fiddle music. Her albums Fit as a Fiddle, No Boundaries, and In My Hands each earned gold certification for sales of more than 50,000 copies. ” While she sticks close to her Cape Breton roots and musical traditions, she also adds her own sense of style, which has widened her audience significantly. Known as Nova Scotia ’s favorite Celtic fiddler, MacMaster “doesn ’t even consider herself a violinist, ” according to the University of California, Los Angeles Daily Bruin, but “describes herself as a world-class fiddler.
