Celtae has been performing their unique brand of traditional music since 2001 for countless excited audiences across Canada. Driven by the creative song writing force of the group’s founder Nathan MacDonald, Celtae has made the traditional music world sit up and take note. Their debut CD, No Regrets has been and continues to be a hit with their ever-growing audience and received critical acclaim. Celtae’s original music has received considerable radio attention. Their music has been licensed for use in radio and film, Celtic compilations, and has been covered and recorded by other artists. Notably Merchant Marine, an original cut off the album, was chosen to be the theme song for the Paul Ciufo’s CBC Drama, “On Convoy”. Celtae’s show is interactive and infectious. Audiences find themselves singing, clapping or dancing to traditional jigs, reels and Strathspeys. What sets Celtae apart has been their ability to explore the boundaries of the Celtic genre while maintaining the essential spirit of the ancient tradition. There is a raw energy and stirring emotion that is breathed into every piece. Celtae performs original songs and their own interpretations of select traditional songs from the Cape Breton, Newfoundland, Irish and Scottish traditions.
