About Celtic Mongrel

Like any true mongrel, the genesis for Celtic Mongrel is a mash-up of several things:

• An affinity for Celtic music, literature, history, and culture.

• Family trees dotted with Irish and Scottish ancestors - in addition to many other cultures - all tempered by a few generations in America.

• A distaste for merchandise that reduces a rich cultural heritage to insulting stereotypes.  (Most apparent around St. Patrick’s Day!)

• A belief in the paradox that the most enduring traditions are those that are elastic enough to adapt to contemporary sensibilities and influences.
