About our Music

The Blessed Blend composes
and performs music, blending Native American and Celtic sounds creating a harmony of tribal music from these two ancient and still thriving indigenous cultures.

We play to honor to our Creator and to bring understanding, peace and good medicine between all nations of people on the earth through the shared language of our common roots; music.

We live in a time when we must come together as a people, one race..the human race. To walk as our ancestors did; where there was acceptance no matter who you were or where you
came from.

When you didnt need papers to prove what your heart speaks to your spirit. Where unconditional love is walked and not just talked about and we mean it when we say "All My Relations"

What is a Blessed Blend?

Through the interaction between the newly immigrated Scots and Irish and the First Nations people of Turtle Island(The Americas)
There came the realization that there were many shared commonalities between both nations of people.

- We both have a historic warrior culture

- A clan system

- Chiefs resplendant with the wearing of eagle feathers

- Painting our faces for battle

- Fierce defenders of our homeland and families

- We both survived an attempt to wipe us out as a people and as a culture

Through our music we share a deep love for the drum, flutes, dance, language, culture and stories passed down from ancient times. When the Scots and Irish immigrated into these Appalachian mountain lands they found a kindred people. During the 17th century the Scots coined the term "Blessed Blend" to describe the marriage union between a Celt and a Native. The same term was applied to the children who were born of thess unions; carrying in their bloodlines the beauty of both indigneous worlds.
