Searson, three sisters from the Ottawa Valley in Ontario, deliver a strong and fiery live show throughout Canada, the United States and Europe. Growing up learning the traditional Ottawa Valley style of music and dance, Searson has developed a contemporary style of high energy roots, celtic, country and pop, a sound that they are known and loved for. The live show includes Erin Searson on lead vocals, a boogie style of piano, step dancing and mandolin, Heather Searson on bass and step dancing and Colleen Searson on lead fiddle, vocals and step dancing. Rounding out the live show from Ottawa is Mary Gellner, performing on drums with a passionate and vibrant attitude.

"Although the audience was barely reserved with the first two groups and showered the musicians with applause, it went off with the Canadian group "Searsons". The spectators were carried away by the cool rhythms, the roaring percussion, the funky...electric bass sounds. Above all, Colleen Searson turned out to be a true devil's violinist. She played her Fiddle so that the bow threatened to glow."

Searson have recorded and released 6 albums thoughout their careers as musicians. A Different Kind of Light (2008) includes 12 vocal tracks, all written by the three sisters and their latest EP, Ignite, an 8 track fiddle album, again written entirely by Searson, was released in the fall of 2009.

"It is very important for the world to know and share where we come from, who we are, and most importantly to have a deeper sense of respect and education of Canadian culture through music." Searson has a unique and original sound that they are recognized and accepted for by all audiences. With pop hooks lacing the traditional roots that Searson came from, the transition from traditional to contemporary Searson music is easy.
