Scythian calls their music an Immigrant Road Show, and the Washington Post dubbed them "one of D.C.'s most energetic and eclectic bands." This Alexandria, Virginia group plays Celtic music with an edge--a very sharp edge. Raging young fiddlers Alexander Fedoryka and Josef Crosby define the sound of a four-man band, trained in classical music or jazz, and drawing on Eastern European or Middle Eastern ancestries to flavor their Celtic sound. Their high-energy, adrenaline- peddling, interactive brand of music has one goal in mind--to get the crowd involved and dancing. In the Post's words, "the band's enthusiasm is contagious, and shows seem to end with everyone dancing, jumping around or hoisting glasses." Scythian has recently opened for the Punch Brothers, and their "Immigrant Road Show" CD was named Album of the Year by the Homegrown Music Network.
