Celtic Music: Circled by Hounds

Ranked #8,581 in Music, #233,310 overall | Donates to KIVA

Great Celtic Sounds from the Pacific Northwest

Portland, Oregon's Circled by Hounds is a Celtic band that grew out of respect for traditional music and a love of making music together. They perform a mix of traditional and original music influenced by a variety of artists such as The Chieftains, The Pogues, Clannad, Dougie McLean, Kate Rusby, Solas, Kila, Dervish, Dick Gaughan, Battlefield Band, The Dubliners and Kevin Burke. With their extraordinary skill and artistry, they seek to push the boundaries of traditional music and create a powerful sound that's uniquely theirs.
