Alasdair White is an exceptional exponent of West-coast Scottish music and is widely regarded as one of the foremost Scottish fiddle players touring, teaching, and performing today on both sides of the Atlantic.
Alasdair was born and brought up on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, a chain of islands of singular importance to Gaelic Scotland’s musical heritage. His deep-rooted yet wide-ranging musicality reflects his Isle of Lewis birthplace, current New York City home, and years of globe-trotting with some of the best-known names in Scottish, Irish, and Breton music.
Alasdair is perhaps best known as having been a member of Scotland’s seminal Battlefield Band since 2001, touring extensively in that time throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. His current projects include Gaelic supergroup, Dàimh, US/ Scottish band, Cantrip, and his own solo work.
