SCYTHIAN

Dubbed by The Washington Post as "one of DC's most energetic and eclectic bands," Scythian (sith-ee-yin) falls nothing short of a "party band.”  Their high-energy, adrenaline-peddling, interactive brand of music has one goal in mind - to get people on their feet and dancing. The crowd is an essential element of each show and Scythian relies heavily on crowd participation to get people involved and loosened up.  The results are always the same:  "the band's enthusiasm is contagious, and shows seem to end with everyone dancing, jumping around,  hoisting glasses."  

Led by a pair of young raging fiddlers, Scythian has a great respect and admiration for the traditional Celtic - the foundation of their music.  Nevertheless, Scythian is not afraid to wink at convention in search of a little fun, lending them an appeal to young and old alike.  They whip a crowd into a frenzy with tight grooves, outstanding musicianship, and a spontaneity that few bands possess.  Scythian is Celtic with a sharp edge.
