Mixing traditional shanties and ballads with lively instrumentals and contemporary songs of the sea, friends Alan Eaton, Peter Hale, Dave Hallowell, and Mike Jeanneau perform together as Mudhook.
Toad in the Road:

Toad in the Road plays traditional and folk music from many places that have shorelines on the North Atlantic. (Or, Celtic +). We're evenly split between vocals and instrumentals and apparently gravitate toward material that other people don't.
Celtic Odyssey:
www.celticodyssey.us/
The four member New Hampshire based band includes Ramona Connelly on fiddle and piano, Linda Laporte on bodhran (Irish drum) and Celtic harp, Dave Durnam on acoustic guitar, banjo and mandolin, and Kevin Sheehan on mandolin and guitar. Celtic Odyssey plays traditional Irish music that brings the Celtic spirit to weddings, parties, festivals and celebrations.
