It’s the holiday season, and although this means busier calendars and longer to-do lists for many, it won’t feel like Christmas unless we make time for fun, festive, and inspiring entertainment. If the same old carols are wearing a little thin for you, one of the best ways to revive your December is to treat yourself and your family to an Irish-style Christmas concert performed by The Celts.
The Celts, formerly known as the Nashville Celts, are a vibrant Celtic music band that blends traditional Irish and Scottish sounds with modern elements such as pop and rock. Their ability to fuse diverse musical traditions has made them a favorite among both folk music enthusiasts and general audiences. Each band member brings a unique musical background to the group, which gives their performances depth and excitement.
About The Celts
Founded by lead musician Ric Blair, The Celts are known for their dynamic and high-energy shows that showcase a mixture of traditional Irish instruments such as the uilleann pipes (bagpipes), the Irish whistle, and the bodhran (drum) alongside guitars and keyboards. Blair, who has a deep appreciation for Celtic music, grew up listening to Irish and Scottish folk music, which inspired him to form the band The Nashville Celts.
The band’s sound appeals to a wide audience due to its modern take on traditional tunes, making Celtic music accessible to people unfamiliar with the genre. The Celts have toured extensively, gaining a loyal following both in the United States and internationally.
Christmas With The Celts Show
One of The Celts’ most beloved performances is their holiday show, Christmas with The Celts. This event combines Celtic music, Christmas carols, and traditional holiday storytelling into a unique and festive experience. The show is a lively celebration featuring familiar songs such as “Little Drummer Boy” and “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” performed with a Celtic twist. A unique fusion of Celtic music and Christmas classics, the show is a family-friendly experience suitable for all ages.
Audiences are treated to lively Irish dancing, beautiful instrumentation, and sing-alongs, creating a festive and communal atmosphere that captures the spirit of the holidays. The combination of traditional Celtic music and Christmas classics creates an unforgettable concert that appeals to all ages.
