Richard Wood

Experience the Power of Richard Wood

“Richard has the fire of a rock god and the skill of a master musician.” — Time Out, London, UK

Internationally acclaimed fiddler Richard Wood is one of Canada’s most electrifying live performers—and one of Prince Edward Island’s greatest musical exports. A five-time ECMA winner and multi–Music PEI Award recipient, Richard Wood has spent more than three decades setting stages on fire around the world with his blistering, high-energy Celtic sound.

From Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center to EPCOT at Disney World, Richard’s performances are legendary—leaving audiences breathless, exhilarated, and demanding more. His ECMA-winning, Canadian Folk Music Award-nominated album Unbroken, mastered by Grammy-legend Bob Ludwig, has been praised as some of the strongest work of his career.

A champion fiddler and step dancer—and two-time Don Messer Memorial Trophy winner—Richard has shared stages with icons like The Chieftains and Shania Twain, performed for world leaders including the Queen of England and the Emperor of Japan, and appeared on major broadcasts such as Good Morning America, The David Letterman Show, and CBC’s nationally televised Canada Day celebrations.

Beyond the spotlight, Richard proudly brought his music to Canada’s Armed Forces in Bosnia, the North Pole, and twice in Afghanistan—an ambassador of Island spirit wherever he goes.

Named by Maclean’s Magazine as one of the Top 100 Canadians to Watch in the 21st Century, Richard Wood delivers a concert experience that blends rock-star intensity, master-level musicianship, and pure Celtic fire.
