Thistle & Bear plays traditional folk music from Celtic and Scandinavian lands. Focusing on what unites the music of these regions, rather than the national boundaries that separate them. Emphasizing shared cultural currents while bringing a contemporary feel to timeless music, Thistle & Bear invites us to remember that the threads of story and song connecting us are stronger than the walls that divide us.    

Thistle & Bear are Mariah McCammond (Ex-Cowboy, Loveland) on Fiddle and vocals, and Anton Shekerdzhiev (Kyklo, Ludo Djor) on Guitar.
