Cayamo 2010 - Scythian sets the bar high for new artists

Cayamo 2010 "A Journey Through Song" on a cruise ship from Miami to Belize departed February 21, 2010 to the sail-away sounds of Washington DC based SCYTHIAN.



Prior to this performance, I had only heard one song by Scythian (as provided on the pre-sailing artist sampler CD). Based on that song, I had decided that this was a "good Irish band worth seeing".



Little did I know that I was going to be treated to a foot stomping, hip swingong, raucous, Irish, Cajun, Country band with a Middle Eastern Flair.



The two lead singers are brothers of Ukrainian heritage and the drummers father is from Jordan. They perform a variety of genres and make amazing use of accordian, fiddle (sometimes 2 fiddles at once) guitar, bass, drums and even a washboard. Scythian is the first hot find onboard - CHECK THEM OUT!
