The Official Celtic Mayhem Fan Club

About me:

Combining the talents of members of three of the renaissance faire circuit's most popular musical acts, Celtic Mayhem has been entertaining audiences with their unique brand of Celtic folk music since the Spring of 2007. ----------------------------------------------------------- Featuring Ty Billings (Minstrels of Mayhem) on vocals, guitar, and flute, Martyn Wylde (Wyldefyre) on vocals, bass, guitar, and bouzouki and Jack Stamates (Generica, Avalon and more) on vocals, fiddle, recorder, and percussion, Celtic Mayhem have developed into a remarkable "Celtic power trio". (http://www.celticmayhem.net) (http://www.myspace.com/447134942) on facebook go on with celticmayhemrocks@gmail.com. ----------------------------------------------------------- Performing at faires and festivals, the band plays Celtic traditional music and folk songs, along with original and contemporary music with a traditional feel - adding that crowd-pleasing Mayhem twist to every performance. They also play select pubs, clubs, private/corporate events and house concerts. ----------------------------------------------------------- Their first CD - Celtic Mayhem - was released on February 7, 2009 to coincide with opening day of the Florida Renaissance Festival. ----------------------------------------------------------- The Band Who's who, who plays what, (I don't know's on third...) ----------------------------------------------------------- Ty Billings vocals, guitar, flute (http://www.myspace.com/tybillings) ----------------------------------------------------------- Born into a musical family. Ty Billings has been in the music business for well over 30 years. He attended college in Los Angeles and Northern Iowa studying music theory and composition. Ty started and played in the band The Strangers in Nashville, Tennessee for nine years, writing and performing many of their original songs. ----------------------------------------------------------- He formed the nationally known Celtic band The Minstrels of Mayhem and traveled with that group for over sixteen years as lead singer. He has produced and written songs on more than six CDs with MoM as well as recording his solo CD, “Take the Boy Out of the Country”. Many of his original songs have been recorded by other artists. ----------------------------------------------------------- Ty has written and produced the music for several theatrical productions. Among them are “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” and his own musical entitled “A Light in the Dark (A Rock Nativity)”. Ty is currently hard at work writing songs for the second Celtic Mayhem CD. ----------------------------------------------------------- Jack Stamates vocals, fiddle, recorder, crumhorm, guitar, cello, percussion and more... ----------------------------------------------------------- Jack is a staggeringly talented multi-instrumentalist who studied Irish fiddle technique under the legendary James Kelly and has played in an array of rock, country, renaissance and Celtic bands including Avalon and Generica. ----------------------------------------------------------- Jack’s recordings span the range of his musical interests and include an album of songs and dances from the 14th Century, a collection of Scottish tunes with Jennifer Licko and tracks on three recent platinum-selling pop/rock CDs: Shakira’s “Donde Esta Las Ladrones” and “Laundry Service,” and J. Lo’s “On the Six.” ----------------------------------------------------------- Celtic Mayhem's debut CD was recorded in Jack's studio and he was responsible for the engineering and production of the entire project. ----------------------------------------------------------- Martyn Wylde (http://www.myspace.com/martynwylde) (http://www.martynwylde.com) vocals, guitar, bass, bouzouki, octave mandolin, percussion ----------------------------------------------------------- Founding member of popular renaissance faire act Wyldefyre, Martyn Wylde has been a professional musician and actor for more than 40 years. His smooth tenor and astonishing 3 1/2 octave vocal range had him headed for a career in music from an early age. ----------------------------------------------------------- After more than three decades of a demanding touring and recording schedule both as a band member and studio musician, Martyn left the rock scene behind to try his hand at yet another musical genre; the folk music of the British Isles. ----------------------------------------------------------- Martyn's signature fingerstyle guitar and pure tenor voice have been featured on three Wyldefyre CDs and he has also recorded a solo CD, Minstrel's Lament. Featuring both traditional and original material, it is truly a solo effort, in that Martyn plays all the instruments and sings multi-part harmonies throughout the album. ----------------------------------------------------------- With an extensive repertoire culled from the rich folk traditions of Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales along with his own original songs, Martyn Wylde continues the legacy of minstrels both olde and new - and now adds his distinctive talents to Celtic Mayhem. ..
