Tuatha Dea

Tuatha Dea is a progressive Americana band with a Rock edge, a Celtic-Appalachian influence and a fearless attitude for pushing the boundaries of modern roots music. Their music thrives on a perpetual energy backed by expansive vocal ranges, steady, driving percussion, electric instrumentation and the melodic sounds of acoustic instruments like fiddle, guitar, penny whistle, bagpipes and even didgeridoo. In keeping with their Appalachian Celtic roots, the band is predominately family: Husband and wife. Wife's Sister and husband and to keep it interesting add a Granddaughter. Throw in a couple of amazingly talented friends and you have Tuatha Dea (pronounced "Too-ah-day" - taken from old Irish)
