About Japhy

Japhy Sullivan (She/Her) grew up, down a sunny dirt road in the deep dark woods of Eastern Ontario, in a house filled with musical instruments. Her journey, both musically and geographically, has been a scenic one so far, from her early days honing her craft in local fiddle orchestras and family bands, to running a free improvisation collective in Montreal, and studying traditional Irish ballads and dance music in Cork City. Along the way Japhy has shared the stage as an accompanist with many pillars of the Canadian folk and root music community: Irish Mythen, David Ross MacDonald, Kate Weekes, Scott Cook, & David Newland to name a few.

Recently transplanted to Halifax, Japhy is currently hard at work on her upcoming debut album Fiddler Jones, which showcases her songwriting and musical craftsmanship in a collection of tunes that are intimate and poignant as well as being quick-witted and humorous.
