Named after Ukrainian nomads, Scythian (sith-ee-yin) plays roots music from Celtic, Eastern European and Appalachian traditions with thunderous energy, technical prowess, and storytelling songwriting, beckoning crowds into a barn-dance, rock concert experience. Nashville's Music City Roots says Scythian is 'what happens when rock star charisma meets Celtic dervish fiddling', and The Washington Post claims "Scythian's enthusiasm is contagious, and shows seem to end with everyone dancing, jumping around or hoisting glasses."
The foursome made up of Alexander Fedoryka (Vocals, Fiddle, Mandolin, Harmonica), Danylo Fedoryka (Vocals, Guitar, Accordion), Ethan Dean (Vocals, Upright and Electric Bass, Percussion, Guitar) and Johnny Rees (Vocals, Drums, Percussion) brings various influences together to create a conglomerate which is technically precise and steeped in various folk traditions: The classically trained Fedoryka brothers grew up on Ukrainian folk music and bluegrass, while Ethan Dean was raised on the greats of 60's & 70's folk-rock. Lafayette LA raised Johnny Rees brings a Cajun backbeat to the Celtic-Americana fusion giving Scythian yet another dimension which keeps audiences entertained and moving.

Ettore Buzzini, an 18-year-old Swiss-American bluegrass prodigy, is drawing new young fans with his unique songwriting, gifted picking, and show-stopping performances. His virtuosic music blends the iconic acoustic sounds of Americana, the youthful energy and hard drive of pop-rock, and the epic, soul-stirring, romantic emotions of classical music. Ettore (pronounced like “Letter-A”) brings a decidedly Gen Alpha take to traditional bluegrass, rooted in the past but with an irresistibly distinct playing style and songwriting completely outside the mainstream.
