Beltaine showcases the best of acoustic Celtic Fusion in their music. Brian, Jamie, Tyler, and John bring years of experience in ethnic, folk, rock, and jazz music to their interpretations of traditional and original tunes. Their new compositions and a unique collection of traditional music bring together the best of old and new. Beltaine performs throughout the Northwest at many venues and is available for weddings, birthdays, and other special events - we also love it when people join in a good old sing-along!
So sit back, enjoy, and Slainte!
From the proposal to the cleanup, Beltaine made my job as the hother simple and easy. They were clear with their needs (which were basically someplace to set up) and ready with questions during the first phone call to clear up any questions. They gave an excellent performance, adapting to what the audience seemed to enjoy without prompting, and even let some of the kids come up and play on some of the instruments when they were done.
Thank you so much for your effort. I received numerous compliments for you afterwards.

Tilly’s Jig is Beltaine’s 5th album in over a decade of performing and entertaining audiences throughout the Northwest and worldwide.
The band continues its journey of performing traditional Irish and Scottish songs in non-traditional arrangements and instrumentation. In addition to the guitar, flute, and accordion, the hammered dulcimer is the band’s featured instrument, adding a percussive and unique melodic contribution not usually found in Celtic music.
Tilly’s Jig has both original and traditional instrumental songs as well as many famous and beloved vocal songs. There are several themes woven throughout this album; the sea, family tributes, and of course, humor. Beltaine has partnered with local artist Trisha Hassler to feature her mixed media art on the cover.
Beltaine's album Tilly's Jig is a very well-balanced listen, it is not easy to make records and incredibly hard to make good records, Beltaine has hit a home run with Tilly's Jig. The instrumentation and song selection is excellent, backed by great vocals this album is a treat to hear over and over. The years of playing live have paid off as this band is a well-oiled Celtic machine that I look forward to hearing live and on CD. Concert of Kings Music
If you've never heard Beltaine, you are in for quite a treat! This group plays Celtic music with a sound that is unique. The original tunes will have you up and dancing. You will hear some favorite songs, and some that will become your new favorites. Ann McBride, KMUZ Celtic Music Hour
