Named after Ukrainian nomads, Scythian (sith-ee-yin) plays roots music from Celtic, Eastern European and Appalachian traditions with thunderous energy, technical prowess, and storytelling songwriting, beckoning crowds into a barn-dance, rock concert experience. Nashville’s Music City Roots says Scythian is ‘what happens when rock star charisma meets Celtic dervish fiddling’, and the Washington Post claims “Scythian’s enthusiasm is contagious, and shows seem to end with everyone dancing, jumping around or hoisting glasses.”

Summer and Eric have been involved in music their whole lives. Theater productions, marching band, children’s’ performer, national touring shows, local solo gigs….they had already had a full life of music before meeting. By chance, Summer transferred to Eric’s school and he taught her daughter the first year they came. A few years later they taught on the same team next door to each other, perfect for singing in the hallway in between classes. They would stay after school singing Jason Mraz and Ingrid Michaelson and Dave Matthews tunes, led a few holiday sing-a-longs and eventually Summer convinced Eric to go to an impromptu open mic. That led to their first gig and years later, they sing almost 100 shows a year all over Virginia, Maryland and DC. Like so many others they started out singing cover songs but have started writing and recording their own originals.
