Our Featured Saturday Night Band Main Stage - Hawkins Amphiheater The FeniansWe're welcoming this fantastic band back to our event this year for a Saturday night only performance in the amphitheater at Bartley Ranch. There will be a small admission charge, amount to be announced later. Based
out of Orange County, California, The Fenians are an electrifying
Irish musical quintet, as any who saw them the last time they were here
can attest. While offering a mix of their original
creations, and contemporary and traditional songs, their foundation is
decidedly Celtic with complimentary influences of Rock, Folk, Bluegrass,
Jazz, and World music.

Featured Friday NightMain Stage at the Hawkins Amphitheater Seamus KennedyAlways popular with audiences, one of our favorites, Seamus Kennedy returns to our event. Noted for his humor and storytelling, he also has one of the most clear, beautiful voices in music. Originally from Belfast, Northern Ireland, Seamus has been entertaining audiences all over the United States for the past 32 years. With a ready wit and a vast store of songs, he travels from Alaska to Florida, Maryland to California, performing for audiences which range from Popes and presidents to bartenders and bricklayers, from college students to kindergartners. Check out Seamus' web site, then come see him live at the Reno Celtic Celebration. He will also be performing Saturday throughout the day. You won't want to be missing him. |

Men of WorthAlso returning to the Reno Celtic Celebration is the folk-music duo, Men of Worth, who are James Keigher (Ireland) and Donnie Macdonald (Scotland). Both exiles from their homeland, it was through the Celtic music scene in Southern California that James and Donnie first met, and within a couple of years a partnership developed that was simultaneously serious and fun and they teamed in 1986. Geographical changes now find James and Donnie living in Southern Oregon and Northern California respectively. Whilst remaining true to their Gaelic roots, Men of Worth have successfully evolved as entertainers. Success breeds success, and a natural progression toward education and travel has sealed the next decade as an exciting and pioneering era for the versatile duo. Together Men of Worth blend their voices with harmony and support their collection of songs with their varied selection of instruments. They have a very simple approach to their presentation, and in keeping with tradition, remain true to the music and story. Their show is a unique combination of humor, exciting tunes, and soulful, heartfelt ballads. Learn more about them at their web site: |

Molly's RevengeReno Celtic Celebration welcomes this exciting group to our event for the first time. But the lads are no strangers to the Celtic scene on the West Coast, having appeared at many festivals and gatherings. Born out of the timeless tradition of Celtic music sessions, Molly’s Revenge is a band with a genuine affection for the music they play; their enthusiasm for the music carries over in all their live and recorded performances. The classic combination of solo instruments such as the Highland bagpipes, uilleann pipes, whistles, fiddle, and mandolin against a backdrop of guitar and bouzouki accompaniment, with an occasional rousing chorus song mixed in, guarantees an enjoyable and memorable listening experience. Critically compared to the Battlefield Band and the Bothy Band, this group has all the power and instrumentation to stand up to that high praise. Visit their web site, then plan to see the group in action on Saturday or Sunday. |
