Chivalrous Crickets
the
chivalrous crickets
exploring the roots, branches, and crossroads of Celtic, English, and American folk music,
with a focus on boldly reimagined arrangements of standards,
and original songs with traditional influence.
Formed in 2018, the east coast-based American group brings their backgrounds in traditional
Irish, English, Appalachian, popular, and early Classical (Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque) music to
the stage and the studio in an exhilarating and thrumming blend of instrumental timbers,
lavish vocal harmonies, and rich history treated with creative twists.
The Crickets specialize in using historical and orchestral instruments,
as well as the usual suspects, in their arrangements. Some of these include various lutes,
a Renaissance bassoon called a dulcian, the baroque guitar, and Medieval pipes.

The cricket, as described in the Medieval Bestiary, is "an animal that loves to sing, forgetting all else".
We often find ourselves sitting around a table in New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio for hours
working on arrangements, forgetting all else but the music and the friendship.
