Damon Leibert first
picked up the fiddle in 1982. By age eleven Damon was playing traditional music
at dances with his father
Peter, a well respected dance-caller
and button-box (accordion) player. Growing up in Nova
Scotia and his father's music and dance have strongly
influenced his style. This, along with living in
Ireland, a deep involvement in Irish music, and a classical
degree in music were all great contributors to his unique,
energetic playing.
A
founding member of the
Johnny Come Latelies (1999-2005) Damon
has shared stages with some of the biggest names in Celtic
music. Having performed all over North America & Europe,
he has been involved in various Theatrical productions, film
scores, recordings, festivals, and innumerable concerts.

Boston since 1999, Damon has enjoyed making his living as
a fiddler player from the local to international stages.
In 2003 Damon started
Hemlock Ink with band mate Neal Cadogan.

Bluetone Studio as a partner assisting the recording
facility's major improvements. Damon's involvement
with both ventures continues to operate around his busy
music schedule.
