Golden Bough

Since 1980 Golden Bough has been delighting audiences with their unique renditions of the Celtic music of Ireland & Scotland. With a dazzling array of acoustic instruments; Celtic harp, guitar, violin, viola, penny-whistle, octave-mandolin, accordion, and bodhran (a hand held Celtic drum), and a haunting vocal style, Golden Bough presents a program that leaves little room for audience members to lose interest.

​

The music of Golden Bough is enjoyed by listeners of all ages. You'll be hard put to sit still once the fire of Celtic music is flamed by these fine entertainers. A splendid time is guaranteed for all!

Brick Top Blaggers

Brick Top Blaggers bridges the gap between Celtic folk music and contemporary punk rock without sacrificing either integrity or relevance. With a band full of songwriters and an arsenal of instruments as diverse as their musical backgrounds, they have created a distinctive sound that seamlessly blends traditional tunes played on fiddle with roaring guitars, passionate vocals, and rock-solid bass and drums. The result is their own intelligent, exuberant brand of Celtic rock that is always original, always evolving, and always a show to remember.

Ploughboys

For the better part of two decades, the Ploughboys have regaled the Los Angeles Celtic community with modern and traditional music from the British Isles, with dash of bluegrass, country, and American folk thrown in.

Highland Way’s Brian & Paul

Highland Way’s own Brian Caldwell and Paul Graham Castellanos bring the vibrant spirit of the Celtic traditions to the stage, pairing Brian’s authentic Glasgow vocals and driving rhythm with Paul’s masterful, intricate styling on the fiddle, mandolin, and banjo.
