EMERALD CITY
Emerald City  is music for the 21st century – an exciting swirl of Celtic tradition in today’s smaller world. Drawing from folk, popular, classical, and world music genres, Emerald Citys core trio of musicians blend and bend traditional Celtic music into their own unique eclectic style, often joined by talented friends and musical guests. 
Fiddle, guitar, flutes, whistles, mandolin, vocals, drums, and more -- it’s not just music for St. Patrick’s Day anymore…
