This summer, western Howard County-based band The Mighty Kelltones will add their sweet sound to the Saturday Howard County Farmers’ Market on July 13th at the Howard County Library’s Glenwood Branch.
The band fuses Celtic and Appalachian influences with inspiration from world beat and other genres, reinventing folk music and turning tradition into something contemporary yet timeless. The Mighty Kelltones’ ethereal yet earthy sound celebrates the outdoors and all that is fresh. This quality makes it the perfect music to accompany the Saturday farmers’ market.
