Papilio is a neo-traditional acoustic trio based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. With fiddle, flutes, vocals and guitars, Papilio renders a mix of celtic and international instrumentals, original compositions, and folk songs with their own distinctive creative twist. Their musical adventures through Ireland, Scotland, Brittany (France), Scandinavia, Galicia and Asturias (Spain), Cape Breton, Quebec, the Balkans, and further afield show the inspiration and creativity that ensue when cultures connect.

​The trio has performed for the Celtic Colours International Festival, the East Coast Music Awards, Musique Royale, the Stan Rogers Folk Festival, the Halifax Celtic Festival, Nova Scotia Music Week, and concert venues and dance halls across the Maritimes. They have recorded two albums (Sociable Butterlies 2018, First Flight 2014) and have been nominated for East Coast Music Association and Nova Scotia Music awards.
