We will also be asking for your ideas on other items of interest, we want to make this a place that you enjoy visiting often. It will take a bit of time to grow and refine but we hope we provide a place to get good music, good information, good ideas and find some good friends.

Let’s establish a “gathering” on line. More details will follow as we grow. Come along for the ride. Help us make Celtic Force Radio your radio.
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. Through music, they 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 these unions; carrying in their bloodlines the beauty of both. Experience something special that touches on a little known part of history.

The name alone seems to raise a question for most folks, however when you find out the meaning behind the name you are immediately introduced to a most interesting blend of culture and heritage. The Blessed Blend is the name given to the children of those that had parents with Scottish and Native American blood. These peoples were primarily located in the Appalachian region of the US and these unions occurred during the latter part of the 1700s into early 1800s.
Today The Blessed Blend is the name of a wonderful musical group that mixes elements of Native American and Celtic music to deliver a soul stirring sound that reaches across the generations. These musicians are descendents of those original unions between two cultures that has spread to many different parts of the world. The combination of the two styles of music, both entrenched in tribal rhythms, presents the listener with a wonderful experience. This eclectic sound brought the band 5 NAMMY (Native American Music Awards) nominations in 2008.
Now The Blessed Blend have started to work on their latest project. Their next CD will be unlike anything they’ve done in the past and will open new avenues for their music and performances. Celtic Force is pleased to be partnering with the Blessed Blend on this new endeavor. You will be hearing more about this great group and their upcoming new music in the near future.
