Album Notes

Spriggan plays a lively mix of traditional as well as contemporary Celtic and immigrant songs and dance tunes. Performing with warmth and enthusiasm, Spriggan has a fun, energetic stage presence with an evocative and rich sound. From Dallas-Fort Worth, the band blends four talented musicians: Gypsy Youngraven's vibrant vocals and dynamic percussion (vocals, guitar, bodhrán, mandolin), Candace Winship's spirited fiddling (fiddle, mandolin), multi-instrumentalist Chris Arterburn (flute, penny whistle, concertina, bass, bouzouki, djembe) and the driving rhythms of Michael James (6 & 12-string guitars).
