Wild Sage

About Me

The music of the ancient past comes alive with Wild Sage, the Celtic American Groove Band. Some of the tunes are hundreds of years old. Others...nobody knows. Handed down over generations of musicians in the British Isles and America, these reels, jigs, hornpipes, and waltzes soar to new heights on hammer dulcimer, fiddle, recorder, concertina, mandolin, guitar, African Drum and electric bass. Different people hear different things in the ancient music. Some hear the rhythm of the dance. Some hear the druids meditating in the forest. Some hear the working class Celts as they colonized the New World, built railroads, sailed the seas and dug the mines.No matter what you hear, Wild Sage represents a unique collection of instrumental voices playing the tradition with a modern sensibility.Call or email for bookings.(775)[email protected]Myspace Codes / Myspace Layouts
