Insider’s Tip
The latest edition of The Ross Family Ceilidh is jam-packed with fun new content – as well as classic fan favourites – promising to make this season the group’s most exciting show yet!
PEI’s heartiest traditional music and dance show is back for another incredible season, and trust us, you won’t be able to resist some toe-tapping action when the talented Ross Family light up the stage. The brother-sister group tells Prince Edward Island’s story through catchy songs and haunting ballads, with no shortage of driving fiddle sets and stunning step-dancing choreography sprinkled in between!
There’s never a dull moment at a Ross Family Ceilidh as you are seamlessly transported through time and place as they showcase Celtic and Acadian roots music uncovered from the Island’s red soil!
Everyone –of all ages– will be entertained, and you’ll find it hard not to burst in to song, tap along or simply sit back and soak in the scene as emcee, Johnny Ross’s, amusing and interactive narrative engages you at every turn. With a penchant for variety and showmanship, sometimes the band even digress from their traditional Maritime music with a little rock ‘n roll and Cajun flavours!
Comprised of a group of three siblings, whose mom joins them as a guest step-dancer (a crowd favourite), it’s not surprising many return year after year to be immersed in this quintessential PEI experience. You will leave with smiles and imprints of fond memories on your heart.
Playing select dates June to October at 7:30 pm at Clinton Hills (123 Harding Creek Rd., Clinton) and The Guild (111 Queen St., Charlottetown).
