Celtic Fusion
Mythica provides an eclectic musical mix of traditional, alternative and much more
Saturday, October 27

Mythica live performances are an eclectic mix of originals, traditional Irish tunes and some surprising covers.  Their talents have earned them opening slots for the Spin Doctors and Sister Hazel and comparisons to artists such as Loreena McKennitt, The Cranberries, Sarah McLachlan, Enya and the October Project.  Taking fans on a musical roller coaster ride through time and culture, Mythica applies the Celtic tones of the violin and whistles, the millennia-old sounds of the hammered dulcimer, the familiar comfort of the acoustic guitar, and the electronic vibes of the 21st century. While there’s plenty of Celtic Rock, Mythica also dabbles in bluegrass, new folk, "trip folk," alternative and more.
