Tres de Solei (New in 2008!) |
 Sometimes great things happen when they’re completely spontaneous. Tres de Solei is one of those unplanned yet brilliant inventions.
So who are we? We are Tres de Solei, and we are a unique three piece ensemble that plays Celtic music from Ireland, Scotland and Brittany. We feature dazzling vocals and brilliant musicianship. Oh yeah, we are unabashed!
What started out as a ‘fun” duo with Michael Robbins and Reva Paget (both of the BorderCollies) became a powerhouse trio with the additional of 16 year old Elizabeth Robbins on vocals. “Suddenly we had this band that was quickly becoming popular. We started recording some of our material and things took off”, explains Michael. “While we have continued to play a few of our well-known original pieces from the BorderCollies, we have been able to explore diverse ideas and just have a lot of fun while doing it.”
So expect the unexpected. Anything from traditional Celtic to the Wailin Jenny’s to Dougie MacLean to Green Day and back to Robert Burns. Expect to have fun! |
Keltic Kudzu |
Keltic Kudzu offers traditional and contemporary Celtic music with a ‘Southern accent’, as well as a healthy dose of Southern music with a ‘Celtic accent’. Their music features strong vocal harmonies accompanied by a wide variety of instruments, including guitars, fiddle, keyboard, mandolin, highland bagpipes, smallpipes, and bodhran.

Reaching a new Plateau in the unique combination of traditional and
modern Celtic Music is Hunting McLeod.
Without a doubt, these
5 electrified modern troubadours not only entertain, but also excite and
re-kindle the spirit with their majestically energizing Celtic Feast of
the age!
Hunting McLeod's well renowned style & professionalism have been combined
to concoct a brew like no other! They bring you a timeless recipe
starting with the aged, heroic & haunting highland pipes of Alan
Buchanan (Highland Pipes, Whistle), blended perfectly with the lively
lowland fiddlin' of Corey Walden (Vocals, Fiddle, Mandolin). Then it is
carbonated by the foot stompin' rockin' "East" roller "Coastin'" rhythm
section featuring Steve Ashley (Vocals, Guitar), Stuart Wilson (Vocals,
Bass), and
Oliver Johnson (Drums). Hunting McLeod's feisty
tastefulness is not to be soon
forgotten, but instead will become addictive to all who enjoy. |
