Dave MacIsaac is a renowned musician from Halifax, Nova Scotia. He is descended from settlers from Argyllshire. His father, Alex Dan, was from St. Rose, Inverness County, and his mother, Frances MacDonald, was from West Lake Ainslie. His father was a fiddler and musicians would frequently come up from Cape Breton to visit and share tunes with the MacIsaacs. Dave enjoyed listening to old fiddle recordings as a child and now has collected thousands of traditional Cape Breton musical recordings. Dave is accomplished on violin, guitar, bass, mandolin, banjo and mandola.
