HOMELAND

About Me


A quartet of central Ohio musicians, performs a unique brand of progressive rock combined with a Celtic influence. They mix the sounds and rhythms of the Anglo-Celtic music of Scotland and combine it with energetic American rock.
Performing mostly in the central Ohio area, HOMELAND entertains audiences with music that could be described as "folk rock." Though they've played out west as far as Denver, Co; as far south as Raleigh, N.C. and have done tours in Ireland and Scotland.
Much of their repertoire is based around a mix of Celtic originals, bawdy drinkin' tunes, traditional Irish songs, and a few off the wall covers, moving listeners to clap their hands, stomp their feet, or dance a jig to a song they've never heard before.
