EMERALD ROSE - American Celtic Folk Rock

Emerald Rose is ever a favorite of mine. They play Celtic American Folk Rock, plus a bit more. Out of Atlanta, Georgia, they have deep Celtic roots and a love for the "roots music" -- but they take a somewhat rock-and-pop-influenced angle to it.

Bending Tradition by Emerald RoseThey play mostly originals with vocals, guitar, pennywhistle, Uilleann pipes, bass, and world percussion. Many of our themes draw from Celtic myth and legend. They're a favorite amon at sci-fi/fantasy cons like Dragon*Con (where they were just confirmed for this year) as well as events like the upcoming "Return of the King" Oscars party in Hollywood (sponsored by theonering.net).

"Castle of Arianrhod" was a favorite on the late MP3.com. It is a journey through Welsh mythology. Arianrhod is queen of illumination.
