Métis fiddling is a style all its own, and, when you think of this unique cultural music, one fiddler stands out! John Arcand is the undisputed “Master of the Métis Fiddle”.

Originally from the Debden – Big River area of Saskatchewan, John now makes his home on acreage southwest of Saskatoon. He started playing fiddle at the age six, with coaching from his Father and Grandfather and by age twelve he was playing for dances. His impeccable sense of timing and flowing rhythm comes from learning to watch the dancers feet at this early age and from this he developed and refined a style of playing that has helped him become a legend in the fiddle world. People often refer to him as the “dancer’s choice”!
