Thirteen-year-old vocalist and cellist Lavinia Colepaugh is carving out her own sound, with a voice that’s instantly striking —sweetly classical on the surface yet edged with modern attitude. Her natural vibrato recalls the storybook clarity of Snow White, but with a twist of Amy Winehouse’s soulful bite. Still early in her journey, Lavinia performs with an energy that balances emerging confidence with bold curiosity, delivering vocals that stop audiences mid-conversation and cello lines that weave raw emotion into every song. Whether bowed or sung, her sound is both delicate and defiant, hinting at the artistry still to come.

Her father, Chris Colepaugh, accompanies her and is a veteran of the Canadian music scene whose career spans decades of acclaimed performances and recordings. Known for his gritty vocals, soulful guitar work, and commanding stage presence, Chris has toured internationally and shared stages with acts like Gov’t Mule, Big Sugar, and sessioned with artists such as Roch Voisine, Matt Anderson and Samantha Robichaud. With more than a dozen releases to his name and accolades that include multiple East Coast Music Awards, he has earned a reputation as both a powerhouse frontman and a skilled multi-instrumentalist.

Together, Lavinia and Chris create a dynamic musical dialogue between generations. Their performances fuse the wisdom of experience with the spark of discovery, blending cello and guitar, rock and soul, tradition and reinvention. The result is music that feels both rooted and fresh — a collaboration that speaks to heritage while fearlessly chasing the horizon.
