Edmonton Journal - April 21, 2007

Billed as a Celtic-folk supergroup, The MacKenzie Project brings together members from both sides of the Atlantic, from Britain and Canada, and from groups such as The Cottars, Lunasa and Sharon Shannon Band.

Currently on their first Canadian tour, the multi-faceted quartet brings its sound to Sherwood Park's Festival Place tonight.

It all started with Cape Breton fiddler-singer Roseanne McKenzie, who roped in lead vocalist Pauline Scanlon, and producer-instrumentalist Donogh Hennessy, from Ireland.

Completing the group is Cape Breton fiddle and keyboard fave Howie MacDonald (a regular with the Rankins and Natalie MacMaster).

Between their youthful energy, serious chops, impressive musical pedigree, and their mix of traditional and contemporary material, the band could turn into one of the next big Celtic folk hits.

The MacKenzie Project plays Festival Place at 7:30 tonight. Tickets are available from the box office at 449-3378 or through Ticketmaster at 451-8000.
