CeltHickMusic provides a full band sound with a small footprint Easily fitting into a 5’x5’ area, the setup can be self contained or plug into a larger system.
Whether as background dinner music, or in the spotlight entertainment, CeltHickMusic can fit just about any entertainment need and accommodate most budgets.
Additionally, Michael Kelly can act as an emcee or allow the client to use his wireless microphone for announcements, etc.
An extremely versatile fiddler, Michael’s career has spanned decades and includes forays into Classical, Country & Western, Jazz, Rock ‘n’ Roll, Blues, Bluegrass, Celtic, and Folk. His exciting fiddle style and soaring tenor voice are a delight to all
In 2002, Michael co-founded the award-winning Celtic Bluegrass Fusion group “Sligo Rags” with David Burns. The Rags performed at Disney California Adventure and Downtown Disney from (phone number hidden)9 and have been featured in many festivals and concert halls throughout the country.
After the COVID-19 shutdown in 2020, Michael decided to fill an untapped niche in performing at venues who wanted a full band sound but couldn’t afford to pay a full band. He began to sing and play fiddle over pre-recorded tracks, allowing him to provide the full sound the venues wanted at a price they could afford. The new project is called CeltHickMusic, as it showcases Michael’s repertoire in Irish, Country, and Rock ‘n’ Roll.
CeltHickMusic has residencies at several prominent Irish venues in Southern California, including Hennessey’s Taverns (Hermosa Beach, San Juan Capistrano, Laguna Beach), Macallans Public House (Brea), and The Auld Dubliner (Long Beach). Michael has performed as CeltHickMusic on small stages such as house concerts, to pubs, and even larger stages at festivals and community concerts. His repertoire is always expanding, and his performance is always thrilling.
