Quin Etheridge-Pedden is a young emerging musician in British Columbia. He started taking fiddle lessons at a young age and is now performing all around the province. He also plays guitar and sings, performing a lot of his originals as well as covers. As well as performing as a solo act, Quin is in several groups (Fiddelium, Queue The Music, Kadence and The Neighbours). In each band he plays different styles of music including Irish, Celtic, folk, rock, bluegrass, and pop. Quin’s knowledge of music of different genres and experience playing in different groups has allowed him to create a solo ‘one-man band’ using a loop pedal, multiple effects, les pieds, his guitar and voice.

In 2017 Quin released his first solo CD, Embark. It is an eclectic mix of traditional fiddle and new contemporary. Three of the tunes were composed by Quin.

Following the release of Embark, Quin was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award in the Young Artist of the year category in 2017.

Quin is proud to have be invited to the Canadian Grand Masters Fiddling Competition in Ottawa in August 2018.

While teaching private fiddle and guitar lessons he also teaches group music classes through Cross Canada Fiddle in Nanaimo. At age 16 Quin is 100% dedicated to perusing his joy of music in as many ways as possible.

Quin is currently working on his second album, Out of the Blue, due to be recorded and released in 2019.
