About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

Irish roots music played in the spirit of the tradition! Featuring hammered dulcimer, fiddle, guitar, banjo, and mandolin, we weave evocative traditional melodies into a wholly unique groove for weddings, wine tastings, private parties, memorials, and special occasions of all kinds. Our sound is "pure drop" Irish with a spoonful of Americana that will lift your spirits and make your heart sing! Specializing in lilting Irish dance music, we play prolifically around the greater Bay Area and Santa Cruz, hosting weekly and monthly music sessions and dances; Irish and Scottish ceilidhs, Irish sets, and American contras that keep toes tapping and skirts a-whirl. Highly versatile and accommodating, we inspire with classical wedding instrumentals, mystical movie and TV themes, down-home pickin', and traditional and modern songs. We're absolutely delighted to create the perfect atmosphere for your special occasion! Professional, punctual, flexible, and real, our spirit and our sound inspire a sense of community and cheer, the music endlessly listenable and uplifting. Whether indoors or out, amplified or acoustic, on stage, on the street, in the church, or around the campfire, let us share our love of traditional music with you at your next gathering! Sláinte!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on June 21, 2017From Watsonville, CA

The Crooked Road Ceili Band were the perfect accompaniment as our welcoming music and wedding march. Each member was a natural fit into our environment of friends, family and venue. They each were delightful and quite enjoyable. I will recommend them highly and will work with them again for a future event. Kindly, the Bride

Private PartyReviewed on March 20, 2017From Pleasant Hill, CA

We were completely satisfied with booking the Crooked Road Ceili Band for our private party. They provided great atmosphere and a level of authenticity to our St. Patrick's Day party. Personally, they were very easy to deal with and accommodating. I would highly recommend them for anybody who wants a ceili band for their function.
