Tuatha Dea
http://www.tuathadea.net/
Tuatha Dea first began with a group of close friends gathering together once a week to drum for kicks in 2009. Soon after the band began to write original music and playing at local social gatherings. As they began to build a small local fan base it was decided to try their hands at taking the show out into the public eye. They eclectically mix Scotts Irish, new age, traditional and modern day music to produce a unique variety and blend of rhythm and melody. As the fan base grows, the group continues it's evolution and is constantly re-defining it's perimeters.
Tuatha Dea is pure primal energy with a Celtic twist. The bands eclectic sound blends the tribal vibe of primitive drums with conventional and non conventional instruments such as guitar, bass, modern and Native American flutes as well as a myriad of vocal styles to create a truly unique sound. Born of a family drum circle, the group delivers an authentic tribal and clannish feel that not only draws the audience into the music but into the moment and family as well. Their rhythmic groove naturally inspires audience participation which has become a staple of their performances.
From the beginning the band has embraced its Celtic heritage and meshed the traditional music of Scotland, Ireland and Great Britain with the pulse-pounding heartbeat of the drums to produce unique versions of old favorites like "Danny Boy", "Whiskey In A Jar", "Loch Lomond" and others. The group's eclectic nature also incorporates a rock, blues, new age and even punk edge into their repertoire of material to further widen their appeal.
Original music such as the Celtic mythology of their namesake song "Tuatha de Danaan" and "Pipers Pay" as well as mainstream compositions such as "The Sky Is Falling" and "Granny's Bedtime Tonic" marks Tuatha Dea as a creative force. Feel the music. Embrace the rhythm. Experience the family of Tuatha Dea.
The Bare Knuckle Quartet

The Bare Knuckle Quartet (w/ frontman Connell Sanderson formerly of Uncle Hamish and The Hooligans) has a unique sound with roots based in the traditional music of both the Celtic nations and the Appalachian Mountains. Combining a pulsing rhythm guitar and bass with the Great Highland bagpipe and fiddle on melody, the Quartet is able to bring a new light to the dance floor. They offer a wide range of musical energy incorporating the Irish flute, tenor banjo, bodhran, whistles, and more.
Connell and David have been piecing this project together after meeting at a community band night at the Old Farmer's Ball, way back in 2011. After many months of rehearsing they found Thom and his bass on the side of the road, and eagerly offered him a ride. Together they formed the foundation of the Quartet's sound. Finally, Laurie answered the universe's call and pulled the band into full swing.
