The Tea Merchants
A high-energy 3-piece group rooted in americanized traditional irish music that has made the music their own through innovative arrangements and inventive style. The group is made up of Chris Buckley (fiddle), Charles Branch (bouzouki), and Rob Forkner (bodhran). Check them out! (Added: 28-Dec-2005 Hits: 132)

The Tudor Tarts
Bawdy Ballads, Lascivious Limericks, and NASTY bits of Humor! (Added: 20-Dec-2003 Hits: 252)

The Willow Band
Here are three musicians who encompass a great variety of music in the Celtic genre: a competition piper (Highland pipes, border pipes, bombarde, flutes, whistles), a top-notch fiddle player (educated in the Nova Scotia tradition), and a virtouso guitar player (6 string, 12 string, slide, ukulele, mandola) who has also written some of the best-loved songs in the contemporary Irish scene. Great music, engaging personalities, and an entirely fun show. (Added: 19-Dec-2003 Hits: 217)

Thomas 'Doc' Grauzer
Thomas 'Doc' Grauzer plays Irish harp, and man is he good at it! Doc's been playing a regular gig at Mother's vegetarian cafe in Austin Texas for some time now. His harp adds greatly to the ambiance of the garden where he plays. (Added: 12-Oct-2004 Hits: 200)

Tony McManus
In ten years as a professional musician Tony McManus has come to be recognised throughout the world as the leading guitarist in Celtic Music. From early childhood his twin obsessions of traditional music and acoustic guitar have worked together to produce a startlingly original approach to this ancient art. With Tony the complex ornamentation normally associated with fiddles and pipes are accurately transferred to guitar in a way that preserves the integrity and emotional impact of the music.

Trinity River Whalers
This rowdy, Texas/based quartet swings onto the Celtic/Folk music scene with Kathleen Jackson bringing a bluegrass/gospel background to the vocal mix, while rockin' the boat with 'Fred', her upright bass. David Sparks, Randy Christian and Micheal Price, longtime members of The Blarney Brothers, and veterans of the nation's Celtic music venues, round out the crew. Great harmonies, traditional favorites and new surprises blend for an evening of toe-tapping fun! Come see for yourself!. (Added: 20-Dec-2003 Hits: 209)

Widening Gyre
'Celtic music from everywhere.' Acoustic-based vocal harmonies and tunes. (Added: 20-Dec-2003 Hits: 194)

Wolf Loescher
Wolf Loescher draws his inspiration from the rich historical and musical traditions of Scotland, Ireland, the "New World", and the seven seas...along with his own experience. Accompanying himself on guitar, Irish bouzouki, bodhran, or singing a Capella, he brings the music to life with a compelling earnestness and rare passion. (Added: 11-Jan-2006 Hits: 111)

Young Dubliners
The hard-rocking Irish band, the Young Dubliners owe everything to their fans. 'They keep us honest, expecting good music both on the road and on the albums,' mentions frontman Keith Roberts. The Young Dubliner's approach to their music, be it Celtic, Irish, or just plain rock. Ther band is made up of Irish and American natives who draw influences from just about everywhere. Their strength is in the sum of our parts. 'We play as a band, as one.' (Added: 17-May-2005 Hits: 148)
