“Celtic Harps, Flutes, Recorders, Pennywhistle, Bowed Psaltery, Guitar and beautiful vocal harmonies will transport you to another place and time!”

Jay & Abby Michaels – The Harper and The Minstrel are an act that is hard to describe. Incorporating elements of Celtic, Folk, Rock, Classical, Baroque and Renaissance into something that is uniquely their own. The duo specializes in beautiful airs and ballads, the occasional jig or reel, many of their own original compositions, music from the Baroque and Renaissance periods and their unique arrangements of Traditional Celtic tunes and songs by artists like Sting and Led Zeppelin.

Their music is enjoyed, and their musicianship is appreciated by audiences of all ages.

Jay and Abby’s influences include early music from Europe and the Celtic lands, Yes, Loreena McKennitt, Sting, The New World Renaissance Band, Cantiga and Led Zeppelin. They have recorded several CD’s together including:
