**As featured on NPR!** Celtic Underground brings a fresh spirit to Irish traditional music with rich harmonies, vibrant energy, and a modern acoustic twist. Based around two fiddles, guitar, and banjo, this four-piece DC-area band blends the timeless soul of Irish folk with the heartfelt storytelling of Americana. We love playing at festivals, parties, and pubs. Our setlists weave together lively jigs and reels, rousing pub songs, and soulful ballads, creating a sound that is both authentic and refreshingly original. Reach out if you're interested in having us play at your next event!

June 21, 2026Celtic Underground performed at our Irish family reunion. They really are knowledgeable about Irish/Celtic music. They were very accommodating with our schedule and a request list of songs that were particularly meaningful to some family members. This group will be a wonderful enhancement to any event you may be planning. It’s very easy to gain confidence in your decision to book Celtic Underground by watching available clips on YouTube and the band has an album out (You Can Always Go Home) that you can give a listen to confirm you are making the right choice. Our party was made into a big hit by Celtic Underground’s appearance. Everyone, from a 99 yr old Matriarch of the family to 4th generation children dancing jigs, enjoyed the performance.

June 4, 2025We were thrilled to welcome Celtic Music Underground to our Celtic Music Concert and Farm Day at Cherry Hill Farmhouse—and they exceeded all expectations! Their performance was lively, engaging, and full of the authentic Celtic spirit that perfectly matched the energy of the event.
Beyond their musical talent, the band was an absolute pleasure to work with. Friendly, professional, and incredibly accommodating, they made the entire process smooth from start to finish. They were flexible with setup, easygoing with logistics, and genuinely enthusiastic about connecting with our audiences.
We highly recommend them for any event looking to bring in fun, high-quality music!
