Albannach

Albannach in Scots Gaelic means “Scotsman”. And Scots they are, born and bred; Jamesie, Jacquie, Donnie, Aya, and Colin write and perform tribal music with roots set firmly in their native soil’s haunting ballads and ancient war songs. A traditional pipe band they’re not… you’ll probably never see them march in a parade. But Albannach’s rhythms and melodies take you back to that bygone time when pipes and songs were banned because of the power they have to stir stout hearts and Celtic souls. Ye canna resist…
   
Rising Regina

An exceptionally versatile band, Rising Reginas sound incorporates the best of American roots music including rock, folk, blues, jazz, bluegrass and Celtic. The band has played in many high profile venues and festivals and shared the stage with such diverse artists as Enter The Haggis, The Clarks, Guggenheim Grotto, Kaj, The Weathered Road, and Brewers Row. With their percussive, roots rock sound, tight harmonies, and upbeat, irresistible arrangements, Rising Regina will move you!
   
Terra Serpentis

Forged from a source of modern underground music, ethereal textures, and Europe’s neo-medieval music scene – Terra Serpentis originally began as a solo/experimental project merging thick and dark atmospheres with historical instruments. It has since grown into a fully operational recording and live project that seeks to capture the essence of middle-ages, ancient, and tribal music. While the project is comparatively young all the band members hail from various areas of performance, music, and art – each bringing a unique set of skills and having a cumulative experience of over 20 years on stage and in the studio.
