The Sherwood Celtic Music Festival is a celebration of Celtic music, history and heritage. Our particular event does not focus on a specific time period; rather, we celebrate the entire arc of Celtic history from ancient times to the present.
With over 20 bands playing Celtic-influenced music (traditional and modern), our very own Highland Games and many crafters here to show you their goods, we've got plenty to keep you busy during this high-energy event! In addition to the above we offer dancing competitions, bagpipe competitions, harp circles and even a trivia challenge. Many local chapters of Clans will be present in order to share their histories with you as well.
We hope you enjoy all we have in store for you at this 2nd Annual Sherwood Celtic Music Festival! Use the nagivation bar above to learn more.

-09/21/12 - Clandestine at the Mucky Duck
7:30PM Show
Clandestine is hard-driving, toe-tapping Texas Celtic sound. They re-formed in 2006 after a four-year break, with the same brand of blasting tune sets and new songs. Al Cofrin, the newest member, brings cittern and another set of bagpipes to the mix.
Percussionist and singer Emily Dugas captivates with her original song collaborations with Al, as well as her singular interpretations of songs in the Celtic genre.
Piper EJ Jones and fiddler Gregory McQueen return with the full force of their individual musical energies. EJ and Al also join Emily on vocals, with many songs now set in three-part harmony.
Once again, Clandestine is a regular feature at the Texas Scottish Festival and the North Texas Irish Festival, as well as their home pub, McGonigel's Mucky Duck in Houston.

-11/21/12 - Band of Heathens at Mucky Duck
7PM & 9:30PM Shows
"If you still haven't caught up with this group yet then why not? They are magnificent live in concert, and [One Foot in the Ether] proves that they are just as excellent in the studio . . . I could carry on raving about every track on the album, but instead I will just highly recommend that you go out and buy this fantastic album.
Also make sure you try and get to see these guys in concert as soon as you can." —MAVERICK ". . . what makes these Heathens so refreshingly different is the overall musicianship and seamless blending of alt-rockers, folk tales, gutbucket blues and heartland anthems."—CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
"The Band of Heathens, an Austin-based group, played the best set I came across during my five nights in town (at SXSW 2009)."—THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
"One Foot in the Ether is sure to reinforce the band's place in the Austin music scene . . . ready-made for sitting on the back porch with a cold beer, a rock 'n' soul affair evocative of Little Feat, The Band and The Black Crowes."—AUSTIN-AMERICAN STATESMAN
Austin's Band of Heathens is a supergroup of sorts — frontmen Ed Jurdi, Gordy Quist and Colin Brooks all worked as solo artists before falling into a partnership three years ago. But this is no battle of egos: All three write together, and trade off lead vocals as if passing a bottle of wine around a campfire.
One Foot in the Ether bears the musical influences of forbears like the Band and the Black Crowes while embodying timeless lyrical themes of salvation and sin. Bass player Seth Whitney and drummer John Chipman make for a sympathetic rhythm section, keeping the trio of equally matched talents upfront tied together seamlessly. —COUNTRY WEEKLY
