PerKelt

Inspired by European folk and speedy bluegrass, PerKelt blend many different genres into the characteristic sound they call ‘pagan speed folk’; their furiously fast, complicated, math-rock-inspired rhythms mix with playful, Celtic melodies to deliver a truly unique sound.

Fronted by guitarist, producer and visionary creative-force Stepan Honc, and coming from all corners of the globe, each member of PerKelt infuses their own cultural story into a distinctive musical blend. Olivia Petryszak raises an under appreciated instrument – the recorder – to dazzling new heights, while Duncan Menzies adds his distinctive Scottish fiddle style and virtuosic improvisation. Rubén Yon’Ton, a sound healer from Mexico, performs otherworldly shamanic vocalisations alongside native instruments, while Stefan’s impactful playing style on the drum kit enriches the band’s traditional folk instrumentation with powerful new dimensions of psychedelic folk rock.
