October 25, 2024Perfect for our event!
We had a wonderful experience with Stepwise Celtic Band. They were the perfect fit for our Scottish-themed corporate event, and they were professional, easy to work with, and lovely humans in general. I would definitely hire them again.

March 23, 2022Olivia and Chris are AWESOME!
We had them perform at our Spring Sales Meeting in San Diego on St. Patrick's Day and had they not been there, the event would have not been executed as well as it was. They are an extraordinary 2 person band and they play BEAUTIFUL Irish music. Thank you both for your time and performance - everyone LOVED YOU!

February 2, 2022Absolutely perfect!
Stepwise was the perfect choice for our wedding! They're incredibly talented musicians and super easy to work with. They were helpful with making song choices for my walk down the aisle and played all through our cocktail hour and dinner. I love celtic music and was so glad to have found them. They were exactly what we were hoping for and the Irish relatives approved!

About
Stepwise is a traditional Celtic folk band consisting of Liam Lewis (mandolin, guitar, fiddle, voice), Olivia Breidenthal (fiddle and voice) and All-Ireland Champion bones player James Yoshizawa (percussion).
They perform a mixture of traditional Irish songs with tight vocal harmonies and traditional Irish tune sets. Olivia is a practitioner of the Galway fiddle style with influences including Kevin Burke, the Kane Sisters, and Liz Carroll.
Together, their instrumental arrangements feature intricate twin fiddles or groovy rhythm guitar fit for a traditional Ceili or the discerning ears of an Irish-enthusiast audience.
Additionally, we also have a bluegrass band called Angel Crest String Band we can book for events as well. This group is comprised of all-star bluegrass players based in Los Angeles county. The instrumentation can include up to five pieces: guitar, mandolin, fiddle, banjo and bass. Videos of Angel Crest String Band are provided in our video section on our profile.
