Madison Violet

Madison Violet is a Canadian music duo composed of singer-songwriters Brenley MacEachern and Lisa MacIsaac. MacIsaac and MacEachern first met at an artists' hangout in Toronto in the late 1990s when MacEachern was part of the band Zoebliss. MacIsaac briefly joined that band, and the pair continued collaborating as a duo after Zoebliss broke up in 1999. Lisa MacIsaac is a fiddler, vocalist, and stepdancer originally from Creignish, Cape Breton Island. Both musicians have roots in rural Cape Breton and were influenced by their maritime heritage. 2025 marks the 25th anniversary of Madison Violet, a rare and impressive feat. However, after 25 years of making music together, the JUNO-nominated duo announced that 2025 will mark both their 25th anniversary and their final year together as a band. In 2010, the band received a JUNO nomination for Roots/Traditional album of the Year for "No Fool For Trying." In 2009, Madison Violet won the Canadian Folk Music Award for Vocal Group of the Year. They were awarded Song of the Year in the 2010 John Lennon Songwriting Contest for "The Ransom." They have the distinction of being the first Canadians to win the Maxell John Lennon Songwriting Grand Prize. They have brought home a Canadian Folk Music Award for Best Vocal Group Album of the Year, have reached the top 5 on the Canadian iTunes download charts, amassed over one million streams on Spotify, and have placed on CBC's Top 20 multiple times. Their harmonies, songwriting, and chemistry have made them beloved fixtures of the Canadian folk scene.
