McLeod Nine, the Celtic-Americana duo from Texas, plays swingy, stringy, jiggy, jazzy, funky, folky acoustic music, with roots deep in their Celtic and Americana past. Their award-winning songwriting (Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk finalists, Americana Fest winner) is front and center in their shows and draws from a deep well of musical and life experience. Gordon and Christy McLeod's eclectic music spans a wide range of worlds including Americana, Celtic, Folk, Irish,  Swing and Django-jazz,  Bluegrass and Cajun. One of the highlights of their shows is Christy getting the audience to dance a simple Irish Ceili dance. Most of all, McLeod Nine want their audiences to be energized, inspired and to have fun! They are steeped in the Celtic folk traditions and have traveled to Ireland over 20 times and studied traditional Irish music and dance at The University of Limerick. They have toured extensively. Gordon is a well-respected traditional Irish fiddle player and is sought after as a fiddle camp instructor. He has released two full length albums of Irish fiddle music.
