We explore the roots, branches, and crossroads of Celtic, English, and American folk music. With equal attention to engaging performances and academic rigor, we bring to the stage boldly reimagined arrangements of standards and original songs with traditional influence. Audiences enjoy six band members, all trained vocalists, and a total of 14 instruments (ancient and modern). The Chivalrous Crickets offer a diverse array of performances, from festival sets to Christmas concerts to shows built completely around specific Celtic ballad traditions.

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.
