Emerald Rose
We play Celtic American Folk Rock, and many other things from time to time! We are four American men with Celtic roots and a love for the "roots music" -- but taking a somewhat rock-and-pop influenced angle on it. We play mostly originals with vocals, guitar, pennywhistle (and Uilleann pipes soon), bass, and world percussion, and many of our themes draw from Celtic myth and legend. We've played to major sci-fi/fantasy cons (such as Dragon*Con) as well as events like the upcoming "Return of the King" Oscars party in Hollywood (sponsored by theonering.net). Thanks for visiting our page!
