Beltaine is a trad Celtic Music trio from Portland, OR (one of my favorite places in the world). All three of the band members, Brian Baker, Kris Chase and John Keys play multiple instruments but their unique sound is generally created with dual dulcimers, guitar, flute and vocals. They put their own twist on...

The awesome and seemingly indefatigable Gaelic Storm fired their way through Portland, Oregon on October 10th and brought with them their trademark high-energy brand of Celtic music and hijinks. The nearly sold-out Aladdin Theater was abuzz and I feared at times the plaster would chip off the walls as The Storm flew through their...

Depending on where you live, there may or may not be much going on in the way of Celtic music or other related activities. Some places are hotter than others. Here in our area (the Pacific Northwest), things got a whole lot better for the local Celtic scene around February of ’09, when a...

On a recent trip to Portland, OR the intrepid Fanrealm staff was invited to take a tour of CDBaby, the center of the Universe in the Indie Music world. From the minute we walked in the door we were impressed with the atmosphere.  That same fun feeling that goes into their famous emails was...
