The Celthix is a group of musicians that draws its energy from the roots of American Folk music. From its origin in the British Isles and the mountains of Appalachia to the contemporary Folk music of the 20th century, The Celthix' music pays tribute to those who have gone before them. The songs that the group plays span hundreds of years and tell the story of the people who live in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia and their ancestors from Scotland and Ireland. From its beginning, the band has gotten a very warm reception playing to audiences accustomed to bluegrass music. As Celtic music is one of the direct "ancestors" of bluegrass, folks who have never heard it seem to understand The Celthix' blend of Scots/Irish and Mountain music almost "instinctively.” The band's goal is to help others experience the stories these songs tell and have fun in the process!
In their first year together, The Celthix experienced a "dream come true" when they played two shows with legends of Scottish Folk music, The Tannahill Weavers. Along with The Chieftains and The Battlefield Band, The Tannahill Weavers are largely responsible for introducing Celtic music to an International audience and for its ever-increasing popularity worldwide. To be able to share the stage with musicians of this caliber and importance was an honor The Celthix will never forget.
