MAC is, at its core, part the natural progression of Celtic music as it has worked away into the American consciousness. Ryan McKasson, Elias Alexander, and Colin Cotter are all three well-versed in the Celtic music tradition, and the music that they write and perform is steeped heavily in this timeless tradition while calling upon influences ranging from rock to classical. Their performances reveal fiery personas tempered with artistry, finesse, and virtuosity as they draw from a deep well of innovative original music and lush arrangements of traditional songs and tunes.
