Sébastien Dol

Sébastien Dol, born October 27, 1978 in Digby, Nova Scotia started playing fiddle rather late in life, when he was 16 or 17 years old. His uncle, Denis à Alfred Comeau and his cousin, Johnny Comeau were a big influence. He was also inspired to play by the video "Johnny à Denis à Alfred" from the collection "Le Son des Français d'Amérique"  watching his grandfather and Johnny playing. He likes to play a mixture of French, Cajun and Acadian tunes and played with the group "Feutchaque". To learn more about Sébastien, you can visit his Facebook page at Se Bas Tien Dol

Sébastien Dol est né le 27 octobre 1978 à Digby. In commença à jouer le violon assez tard, inspiré par son grand-père Alfred à Denis, ainsi que son oncle Denis à Alfred Comeau et son cousin Johnny Comeau. Son style de jeu est un mélange de trois cultures: la France, la Louisiane, et l'Acadie. "J'ai commencé tard, vers l'age de 16 ou 17 ans. Je joue le violon à cause que c'est dans ma famille. Quand j'étais p'tit, je me souviens vaguement de mon grand-père, Alfred à Denis, qui jouait du violon" (Entends-tu le Violon de Marie-Adèle Deveau)

Almost ten years since my summer in Clare Nova Scotia in 2001. I was working as a graphic designer for weekly acadian newspaper called "Le Courrier de la Nouvelle-Écosse". It was between my two year studies in Digital Animation at the Nova Scotia Community College in Truro.
