California Celts

Powered by indie record label Invisible Mass, the California Celts are the Armitage brothers from the hills of Yucca Valley in the Mojave Desert, CA. On drums is everyone's friend Kevin Paterson. From Riverside, CA, on Bass, guitar, melodica and vocals is Miguelangelo Lamarque Cazares a.k.a. “Pirate Mike.” Newest member Christopher Clayton Shurly rounds out the line up on the six string. The Cali Celts Music draws from the worldwide catalog of Celtic music. Their style can hold a crowd, young and old. The Cali Celts music reflects subtle tones of Reggae, Bluegrass, Mexicano and Rock. The California Celts are a unique group of minstrels that pay homage to the Scotch-Irish musical thread and its journey from the Old World to The Americas and beyond. Hear the Appalachian influence of the banjo as it seamlessly weaves its way into the California songs’ of the 49ers. The California Celts are a one of a kind experience... "The California Celts have an onslaught of a show, playing everything from their classics like 'Slow Down Sister' and 'Love is Stronger Than Pride' to obscure and infectious Hibernian reels." --Jamie Winpenny, Honolulu Weekly, March 15-21 2006 California Celts Promo Official website: www.californiacelts.com
