Golden Bough has been sharing Celtic music with audiences for decades, drawing inspiration from the musical traditions of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany and the Isle of Man.

Their repertoire blends traditional songs and instrumentals with original arrangements, storytelling and a wide variety of acoustic instruments. The result is a sound that celebrates both the diversity and the shared musical heritage of the Celtic nations.

Celtic music has historically been passed from one generation to another through gatherings, celebrations, dances and storytelling. Groups like Golden Bough help carry those traditions forward, introducing historic melodies and stories to new audiences while keeping the communal spirit of the music alive.

Their appearance at the Yosemite Celtic Festival fits naturally into a weekend dedicated to exploring Celtic culture not simply as history, but as a living tradition shared through music, dance, clans, storytelling, food and community.
