tradition re\arranged
the Crickets' backgrounds, skills and passions combine in a unique sound centered on rich vocal harmonies,
provocative instrumental blends, rousing arrangements and innovative programming of traditional, original
and historical music from the Celtic, American roots and European early music traditions.
Based in eastern PA, central NJ & NYC, the 2018-formed band, which includes siblings, partners and friends, plays diverse venues from museums to forest preserves to schooners, classrooms to theaters, concert series to folk festivals around the nation.
They specialize in creating visually stunning theatrical folk holiday shows, dances, cross-genre collaborative and educational experiences with partner organizations, seasonal & nature-based programs, concert-theater works, and shows that demonstrate the historic roots and broad reach of Celtic music around the world.

We often find ourselves sitting around a table working on arrangements,
forgetting all else but the music and the friendship.
