Many of you may have wondered how Uneven Ground developed its interest in traditional Celtic music. Through teaching music, we developed a love and a knowledge of Celtic fiddle tunes. The music was fun, beautiful, and motivational.

We started the band to share this wonderful music with a larger audience. Most people have heard traditional songs and so we started with what is known and moved to explore more obscure songs and writing music in the tradition of the old songs.

Reaching out to a larger audience and showcasing Celtic music has been a goal for Uneven Ground. The past year we hired a very fine band and orchestra arranger from mid-Michigan to arrange some traditional songs for our band to perform with concert bands and orchestras. Gary T. Sullivan provided some wonderful traditional arrangements for us to perform with large ensembles.

In October of 2019 Uneven Ground premiered these works with The West Michigan Concert Winds conducted by Gail Brechting. It was exciting to perform in The Frauenthal Theater in Muskegon to a full house of music lovers!

When we are able to assemble again we are looking forward to performing with other ensembles and sharing the traditional music of the Celtic region with other symphonic audiences. Contact us today to see how we can Celtic music to your orchestra or concert winds ensemble.

Hope to see you soon!
