harmonies, beautiful arrangements, and entertaining personalities have
created a permanently loyal and enthusiastic following, from their
fellow Americans to homegrown Scots and Irish.
Diane, Pamela, and Laura's lead vocals and haunting harmonies are
enriched by cousin George's rich, unaffected voice and original guitar
style. This combined with their perennially popular arrangements of
traditional and modern Gaelic songs, Scottish and Irish selections as
well as original material, gives them a range of appeal and artistic
expression unique in the world of Celtic entertainment.
The Browne Sisters & George Cavanaugh have opened for acts such as Andy
M. Stewart and shared the stage with the likes of Seven Nations, Men of
Worth, Clandestine, Alex Beaton, Alasdair Fraser and Seamus Kennedy.

St Clair.

Bouzouki. He performs Traditional Scottish and Irish music
for all occasions.
 Wicked Tinkers - Known as “The Wicked Ones” ,
(click on photo to enlarge) play the music of the Scottish Highlands proud, stirring, passionate and spice it with the Celtic tunes of Ireland. Aaron Shaw, one of the top pipers in America and Warren Patrick Casey, drummer for twenty five years have wowed audiences all over America. Not a military or rock band, Wicked Tinkers perform the kind of music you might have heard hundreds of years ago at a Scottish wedding, ceilidh or around the campfire of a Highland raiding party. You have seen the TINKERS on TV in the drama “High Incident” , on the Dixie Chicks music video “Ready To Run” and they have been the lead-off band for the Doo-Dah Parade in Pasadena, California three years running.
 Highland Way
“Highland Way is California's newest Celtic music sensation performing at
numerous festivals, Burns Suppers, concerts... and Highland Games. With
their superb blend of vocals, instrumentation, and unique arrangements,
Highland Way is one of the most acclaimed on the Southern California
circuit. Members of the group have appeared on local and national
television, (including The Donny & Marie Show) as well as enjoyed numerous
and enthusiastic write-ups in various print media.
Hailing from Glasgow, Scotland, the charismatic lead vocalist Brian
Caldwell is well known for his energetic and driving rhythm guitar...and
his wonderful ability to charm any crowd. Arranger, vocalist, and talented
instrumentalist, Richard Gordon Heinz is the musical foundation of the
band. Paul Graham Castellanos, master of an incredible array of stringed
instruments, adds a vibrant cross section of sound from animated Celtic
fiddle to classical guitar. Completing the quartet is Heloise Love. A
gifted solo artist in her own right, her angelic lead vocals and sultry
harmonies round out this incredible mix of musical talent.”
