Wren
Song is a Celtic band focusing on traditional Scottish
and Irish music. Gaelic sean-nos style songs and
Scottish ballads mingle in their performances, blending
voice and bodhran with tinwhistle,
harp, bagpipe, fiddle, keyboard, guitar and mandolin.
These family musicians are intent on
drawing you into the mists of time to find connections with
the past.
Adele
began performing at Missouri Tartan Day in 2006,
and soon her brother Leighton and
younger sister Ness joined her.
Where did the band get its name?
In each of the
areas that share the Gaelic language there are
legends about the wren. Around Christmas time, people would
go out and hunt the wren, and bring it home as the King of
All Birds. There are a lot of songs and folklore connected with the
wren, so that’s why
we call ourselves Wren Song.
Wren Song's specialties are:
Celtic music, Gaelic songs, ballads & stories, as well as
lore, and
legends.
Our theme verse from the Bible is Jeremiah 6:16a—
"This is what the Lord says: 'Stand at the
crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask
where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find
rest for your souls.' "
Adele, along with her brother and
sister, have Scottish, Irish, Welsh, and
Cornish blood in their family line.
Adele plays harp and tinwhistle. She also sings
Irish and Scottish Gaelic songs in the sean-nós style, ballads in Scots and English, as well as Celtic Robin Hood songs.
Her harp is a 24 string Brother Maynard
model made by Dan Speer at Argent Fox Music. It uses bronze-phosphor strings
in the Irish/Scottish Clarsach style.
She is learning Gaelic
and also delves into ancient Gaelic. She has an avid
interest in archaeology, ancient peoples, and
ancient
languages.
Besides playing his Great Highland bagpipe, Fireside bagpipe, keyboard, and
bodhran, Leighton sings on many of the songs.
Leighton has mastered Blender 3D, zBrush, and other
3D software.
Ness plays the fiddle exceptionally well and joins
with Adele on the Gaelic songs.
Robert is the father of the family, and helps out by playing mandolin and background guitar.
Like Adele, he is writing a series of fantasy novels. Based on the legends of King Arthur and Merlin, he has named his series "THE MERLIN SPIRAL", and his first book, MERLIN'S BLADE, is being published by Zondervan. You can visit his blog at the
Epic Tales
website where he is writing under the pen name of Robert Treskillard.
