Musician

Ally Fiola

Ally Fiola is a Nova Scotian saxophonist, film composer, and bandleader of The Next Quest, a groove-based jazz ensemble. Known for blending memorable melodies with infectious grooves inspired by funk, soul, and New Orleans brass bands, Ally’s emotionally charged jazz compositions have earned recognition, including a nomination at the 2022 Marvin Hamlisch International Music Awards and multiple Music Nova Scotia award nominations.

Ally's recent 2026 record, Exit 10,  is a jazz concept album that celebrates her roots in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia, where each song is titled after an important location to her growing up. A nostalgic narrative is woven through the fusion of Ally's unique groove-jazz sound with elements of the East Coast music tradition. It features award-winning Canadian and Atlantic musicians, including violinist Donald MacLennan, Mary Beth Carty on accordion, drummer Lowell Whitty (Heavy Weights Brass band), tap dancer Michele King, and the impactful vocals of reggae and soul artist, Jah'Mila.
