Ashley MacIsaac

Ashley Dwayne MacIsaac (born February 24, 1975) is the nortorious Celtic Canadian fiddler, singer and songwriter from Cape Breton Island. He has received three Juno Awards, winning for Best New Solo Artist and Best Roots & Traditional Album – Solo at the Juno Awards of 1996, and for Best Instrumental Artist at the Juno Awards of 1997. His 1995 album Hi™ How Are You Today? was a double-platinum selling Canadian record. MacIsaac published the autobiography Fiddling with Disaster in 2003.

In 1996, MacIsaac toured the United States as an opening act for The Chieftains. On a 1997 Late Night with Conan O’Brien appearance, his leg kick lifted his kilt high enough that his genitals were visible to the studio audience, although they were blurred out in post-production before the actual broadcast.
