Tuatha Dea is pure primal energy with a Celtic twist. The bands eclectic sound blends the tribal vibe of primitive drums with conventional and non conventional instruments such as guitar, bass, modern and Native American flutes as well as a myriad of vocal styles to create a truly unique sound. Born of a family drum circle, the group delivers an authentic tribal and
clannish feel that not only draws the audience into the music but into the moment and family as well. Their rhythmic groove naturally inspires audience participation, which has become a staple of their performances. From the beginning the band has embraced its Celtic heritage and meshed the traditional music of Scotland, Ireland and Great Britain with the pulse- pounding heartbeat of the drums to produce unique versions of old favorites like "Danny Boy", "Whiskey In A Jar", "Loch Lomond" and others. The group's eclectic nature also incorporates a rock, blues, new age and even punk edge into their repertoire of material to further widen their appeal. Original music such as the Celtic mythology of their namesake song "Tuatha de Danaan" and "Pipers Pay" as well as mainstream compositions such as "The Sky Is Falling" and "Granny's Bedtime Tonic" marks Tuatha Dea as a creative force.
