PerKelt create high-energy, genre-bending music they call ‘pagan speed folk’, where playful Celtic melodies meet furiously fast, complicated, prog-rock-inspired rhythms. Each member brings their own cultural story to the sound: Scottish fiddler Duncan Menzies, Mexican sound artist and vocalist Rubén Yon’Ton, drummer Stefan Macierowicz, recorder virtuoso Olivia Petryszak, and guitarist/producer Stepan Honc, the band’s founding creative force.
Over fifteen years and hundreds of festival and club stages (including Glastonbury Festival), PerKelt have evolved into a joyful, intense, and deeply expressive performance experience. Rooted in ancient musical traditions yet driven by unstoppable experimentation, the band continues to push the boundaries of contemporary folk: fast, fiery, and full of heart.
