Since
picking up the violin at age 3, Tania Elizabeth has
explored many paths of violin music and blazed a few trails
herself.
Having co-founded the critically acclaimed group The Duhks
in 2001, and founder of her own independent label on which
she released two solo albums in 1998, Tania has toured
Canada, the U.S., China, Australia and Europe on a
full-time basis for over 10 years and is a two-time Grammy
nominee (one win) and a four-time Juno nominee (one win).
A veritable chameleon and seasoned professional, Tania is
known for her ability to seamlessly traverse the many
genres that make up the world of the violin: French
Canadian, Métis, Celtic, Appalachian, Cajun, Country,
Klezmer, Gypsy and Jazz.
An activist from an early age, Tania partnered with Save
The Children Canada on her first cross-Canada tour at age
16, and is the founder of GreenDuhks, a think tank and
promotional tool for Artists, Companies and Non-Profits
with the ultimate goal of promoting sustainability and
innovation through music and entertainment.
Tania is available as a fiddle instructor, studio musician,
producer and sidewoman, and is currently working on a book
on how to be healthy as a touring
musician.
