Beltaine

The instrumentation of hammered dulcimer, guitar, accordion, flute and vocals of this Northwest quartet combine to offer a unique Celtic fusion sound. Beltaine embraces traditional and original music to shine as bright as their name implies. There is a strong synergy among the members of Beltaine, as all members play both melody and harmonies on multiple instruments as well as vocals. The music is eclectic but not electric, with emphasis on traditional dance music and powerful songs. In live performances, Brian, Jamie, Tyler and John keep it light and lively with sprightly tunes and stories – soon everyone is singing, dancing and everyone gets to be a part of the magic of Beltaine! “The bright and festive sounds of acoustic guitar, hammered dulcimer, bass, flute and penny whistle combine in folk-inspired arrangements, with dance-like qualities and a celebratory air throughout.” Hilary Field - Victory Review
