Details:
We are CELTAIRE STRING BAND...........
(from Katy & Waller, TX) & we've had the honor to play AT and IN The Alamo (our 4th year) for their 171st anniversary events, the Alamo Irish Festival-in San Antonio & Texas Shootists in Columbus, Texas. We had a blast!

NEWS FLASH.... our "From the Heart of Texas" CD has been accepted for The Grammys 2008 submissions!

Our latest release - RAISING CANE !.... is an exciting compilation of Americana-Rooted music & merriment! We think it's our best CD yet!

We specialize in playing "period" music (dressed in period clothing from 1500s and 1800-1915s)....for other Texas events, private parties, weddings and for SCOTTISH, IRISH & CELTIC festivals, Texas Renaissance Festival, Historical George Ranch & Liendo Plantation re-enactments & Dickens on the Strand (for the past 17 yrs.) & other Civil War re-enactments.
All our band members are over 40: Sue MacGuiness, Mel Peters, Wyatt Canady, Betty Peters and our newest addition Clay Airington .... we all have day-jobs....but we absolutely LOVE to play our music to young & old alike. Weâve also performed & instructed at area elementary & secondary schools. This is one way of enlightening our children with the roots of our Americana music traditions, and preserving it now & for future children. We get the kids involved in playing along with us with hands-on activities & allow them to appreciate the old-time music & how it was made..... before batteries & amps!
Our acoustic instruments are: fiddle, penny whistle, concertina, bodhran, guitar, mandolin, vocals, banjo, "bass-box", tambourine, autoharp, spoons, scrub-board & limberjacks. We even get the audience to play along on tambourines!

We are passionate about keeping our Music Heritage alive ... for this & future generations!
