Skyrie, an electrifying contemporary Celtic music trio

Skyrie is an electrifying contemporary Celtic music trio renowned for their dynamic performances and innovative sound. Their music blends traditional Scottish and Irish tunes, poignant original songs, tunes and soundscapes with modern influences from rock to funk.

Get ready to stomp, sway, and straight-up revel—Skyrie is jetting in from the wilds of Fife with a turbo-charged blend of Scottish-Irish tradition and modern edge. Think blazing fiddle reels that crash head-first into funk-rock grooves, haunting pipes that melt into lush vocal harmonies, and foot-stomping ceilidh sets where the band actually jumps offstage to call the dances themselves. Between them, Lesley Thompson Smith, James “Jimmy” Anderson, and Christopher Martin Smith have traded licks with legends like Dougie MacLean, Shirley Manson (Garbage), Big Country, and Kathy Mattea—lighting up everything from Glasgow’s iconic Celtic Connections to a New Year’s Hooley that had the entire city of Dundee twirling in the street. Fresh off their 2024 U.S. debut and armed with their acclaimed new album Hunger Road—dubbed “essential listening” by New Celtic Music Magazine—Skyrie is ready to turn our house into a Highlands-meets-Ventura dance party. Bring your dancing shoes, your inner Celt, and a thirst for fearless musical adventure—because when Skyrie fires up, the only direction is up and the only rule is move.
