Kilt are the collaboration of musicians from three Maritime islands - Port Hawkesbury, Port Hood and Mabou - who settled in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia as their home base.

After performing with recording artists like Rawlins Cross, Great Big Sea, John Allen Cameron, and Lennie Gallant, they eventually recorded and released their self-titled CD.

After climbing into the Number One spot on the Maritime chart after only a week, this independent release broke into the Top 10 for national sales. It remained at No.12 over the Christmas season and has once again broken the Top Ten to settle in at Number Eight.

Backing up the sales with radio play helped KILT gain access to the main stage at the 1998 East Coast Music Awards where they were nominated for two East Coast Music Awards as 'Best New Artist' and 'Group of The Year'.

With a five-week tour of Upper Canada and a jaunt as far as the Pacific Coast provided them with road experience and a string of shows with avid crowds and dry beer taps.

The experience allowed them to scale back the cover tunes that dominated their debut CD and work on new, original material for their sophomore effort 'Four In The Crib'. The disc earned them nominations for 'Group of the Year' and 'Roots/Traditional Group' at the 2000 ECMA’s.

In 2000 they recorded a single and video for the song "Rubber Boots". Following another national tour the band eventually ran out of steam and split up in 2001.
