About

Damon Leibert’s unique and energetic style of fiddle playing lies somewhere between the driving dance beat of Cape Breton, and the lyrical music of Ireland.  He has performed innumerable concerts and festivals across North America & Europe and has worked in various theater, film, and recording projects.  His playing has been heavily influenced by his parent’s involvement with traditional music & dance, living in Nova Scotia & Ireland, and a deep involvement within the Celtic music community.  He has been based in Boston since 1999 where he performs with a variety of diverse musical groups and produces recordings when not on the stage.

He is currently working on a much anticipated studio album planned for completion later this year.
