Review by Celtic Music Magazine - April Issue 2010:
Artist: Birch Creek
Album: Celtic Enchantment
Year: 2010
Embark on a journey in sound toward the essence of unsung beauty led by "The Chanter". An Ancient Celtic Otherworld is conjured in a rhapsody of melded musicianship deliberate as the "Broken Mist", eloquent as "Star of the County Down" and heart-wrenching as "Marble Halls".
In addition to original works by acoustic guitarist/keyboardist Brian Horton's mentor Al Petteway, instrumental Celtic aires, jigs and reels are rendered works of art with a contemporary twist. Multitalented Horton is a driving force where Sandra Lynn perfects the Appalachian dulcimer, Alex Miglowiec shines on flute & piccolo, Kevin Gallagher showcases bass & mandolin, Linda Umstead graces the Celtic harp and Arlene DeMaris' fiddle skills are in a word - haunting.
This CD is an open book where Sean Fox's Uilleann pipes forge "The Dragon's Breath" and "Song of the Water Kelpie" evokes imagery of chivalric Medieval pageantry. The time tendered "Mary Young & Fair" is an example of the patient mastery prevalent throughout this eclectic collection. "Haste to the Wedding" quickens the pace while sacrificing not one note of quality. With 16 song selections, there is quantity as well, and it's all good. "Celtic Enchantment" is only the beginning of great things for Birch Creek. It should only be a matter of time before there are blockbuster fantasy soundtracks in this band's future.

“I was absolutely stunned by how much I enjoyed the ENTIRE cd. Most of the time you find yourself liking a couple of songs, but it is not everyday that you find yourself liking the cd as a whole.
It seemed as if I am constantly on the go, I took time out as soon as I opened it & placed the cd in a player, and sat back...closed my eyes...and was transferred into a different world. It was almost as if the world's weight was lifted off of my shoulders and I was emotionally cleansed from the inside out.
I really look forward to hearing your new release. I have your sites bookmarked to keep updated. I have no doubts that you and Birch Creek will go far! I know that I will be supporting you 100%.”
Your friend,
Marsha S.
