Hailing from Quebec and Vermont, the Roy, McKinley & Scanlon Trio is united by a deep love for the music and songs of the Northeast. Blending regional traditions with original material, their sound is both rooted and exploratory and brought to life through rich collaboration and deep musicality. 
 
François-Félix Roy (Festival Trad Montréal 2022) is an Aldor Emerging Artist Award winner and a rising star in the Québécois traditional scene. His guitar work and soulful singing bring a vibrant energy paired with the subtle storytelling of a seasoned folk singer. 
 
McKinley James is an internationally performing cellist in both classical and traditional music. She has taught workshops and performed across four continents with degrees from New England Conservatory and McGill University in performance.  
 
Oliver Scanlon is a soulful fiddler, mandolinist, and tunesmith from Vermont. He spent nearly a decade performing with the renowned Pete’s Posse. With hundreds of performances and eight recording projects under his belt, his playing is as seasoned as it is heartfelt.
