"fiddle fit to break your heart" - The Word
"...Tania
Elizabeth... sent horsehair flying with her fiddling. An
intuitive player, she shifts between dramatic pedal
distortion, classical bowing and chopping. There are
moments she’s completely engaged with the crowd or the band
and many more where we lose her as she ascends to another
place — completely consumed by her craft. It’s a joy to
behold. Her harmonies complement and add another layer to
the already teeming spectrum." - Jessica Dean
"(Tania's)
interest in violin playing extends beyond her deep
virtuosity in the art of Canadian-Celtic fiddling to
further exploration of the art of improvising and shaping
melody and phrasing in other styles such as Jazz and Rhythm
& Blues." - Darol Anger
"This is the second year in a row that Tania Elizabeth
changed the Smithers Festival from being a bit better than
staying at home to a truly memorable experience. Last year
it was not just her skill, but her enthusiasm that was
inspirational. This year, wow, what a show! She had easily
the best band there, (and) was the best from a listener's
perspective." - Rob MacDonald
