Celtic Wood and Wires
Celtic Wood and Wires is a four-member band from the Williamsport area of central Pennsylvania. The band formed in early 2018 and has evolved into the band as all of our fans know it today. We play upbeat, traditional songs and tunes from Ireland, Scotland and a wee bit of Appalachian. We do have a number of originals of our own and are working on more. Check out their webiste here.
Jess Houser
Jess Houser is a singer-songwriter & multi-instrumentalist originally hailing from West Virginia. As a kid, Jess was always drawn to music and learned to play piano by ear by playing along to albums by Billy Joel, Carole King, Steely Dan, and Joni Mitchell. She remained largely self-taught until college, where she studied woodwinds and played in a myriad of bands and musical styles. Despite primarily identifying as an instrumentalist, Jess always had an interest in poetry, keeping a songwriting journal from the age of 14. She finally had the chance to record her own songs years later while living in Philadelphia and released her first album Shine in 2015. Jess often tells stories of love, loss, growth, and change, having seen the transformative power of music in her work as a therapist. Jess is always working on new material and is excited for the opportunity to share more of her music in the Lancaster area. You can listen and check out more information at here.
