We are a celtic fusion band playing traditional Irish, Scottish, English tunes with a modern twist. Popular influences for our original arrangements include Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, It Bites, Van Halen, and Toto. Dynamic, inspiring, exciting, sweet, and surprising - experience the journey of a lifetime when traditional fiddle tunes meet rock, jazz, dance, and more! All musicians have decades of performance experience. What is celtic fusion? For us it means combining Irish, Scottish, and English folk tunes with modern styles. Our music is influenced by Eileen Ivers, Elephant Sessions, Talisk, Beoga, Blackbeard's Tea Party, and Face the West. We are completely instrumental, and play music you can dance to with some interesting stories to share along the way!
