Fletcher Opera Theater
Scythian pulls together a blend of Celtic, Eastern European, and Appalachian traditional music into an unforgettable show. The quartet’s onstage energy is matched by its musical prowess, a phenomenon Nashville’s Music City Roots described as “what happens when rock star charisma meets Celtic dervish fiddling.” Led by brothers Alexander and Danylo Fedoryka, the band’s sound stems from their classical training and love for bluegrass and Ukrainian folk music, with folk-rock and even Cajun flavors added by the band’s other members. The buzz around Scythian’s sets spreads like wildfire at festivals they attend, and at their own shows they transfix fans old and new with their enthusiasm and earnest love for music.
