notes
Aisling is a contemporary Celtic folk band from central Ohio, USA. The band formed in 1997 and made its debut at the Dublin Irish Festival in Dublin, Ohio. Our music features arrangements with hammer dulcimer, fiddle, flute, tin whistle, mandolin, bouzouki, guitar, banjo and bodhran. We play traditional dance tunes, ballads, and original compositions. We like to think of our music as a fusion of Celtic, jazz and chamber music.
Our performance venues are festival stages, concert halls, small stages, upscale pubs, and private receptions and parties. We’ve released two CDs since 2004: The Dream (2004), which featured instrumental tracks, and The Pilgrim’s Road (2007), which featured instrumental and vocal tracks. Dulcimer Player News included the title track from The Pilgrim’s Road on their sampler CD in the Fall 2007 issue.
Our sound is unusual in the combination of instruments we bring to our music. A main feature of our arrangements is the hammer dulcimer, which is not a traditional instrument in the Celtic genre, but it offers a depth of sound that makes for wonderful interpretations of Celtic music. All of our band members play multiple instruments and we’ve been known to throw in some riffs featuring three bouzoukis at once – another wonderful sound for Celtic folk music. Two and three-part vocal harmonies and lovely instrumental interludes characterize most of our vocal selections.
Members of Aisling are:
Andi Wolfe – hammer dulcimer, fiddle, bodhran, vocals
Craig Caldwell – guitar, bouzouki, mandolin
Mary Bertke – banjo, bouzouki, vocals
Steve Wolfe – flute, tin whistle, guitar, bouzouki
Stuart Brand – fiddle, flute, tin whistle, vocals

The Pilgrim's Road
author: Grafton SwickardThis is an excellent CD for lovers of traditional Celtic music. The instrumentals are sharp and tight, the vocals technically solid and beautifully executed. Buy it today! A wonderful addition to any Celtic collection.
A Good Traveling CD
author: Peter E.The sound quality is good. The music comes across as familiar yet new. There is a nice variety of tempo/style from one song to the next. Primarily instrumental, a couple of tracks include vocal instruments. This is a well balanced album.
