Electronic Celtic Music
Bio
Deò could be North America’s first ECM (Electronic Celtic Music) band. Formed in 2024 the powerhouse group takes the talents of four of the nation’s most accomplished Celtic musicians and overlays the sounds of traditional instruments and tunes with modern EDM beats. Imagine a cross between the Chieftains and Skrillex and you have something like the sound of Deò.
The word Deò (Scottish Gaelic) roughly translates to a chant of the vital spark of life and vision beyond the veil.
The group is the brainchild of Abbie Palmer (electric harp, vocals, producer, programmer) she is joined by U.S National fiddle champion Seán Heely (fiddle, vocals), Agi Kovacs (percussive dance), Jesse Ofgang (assorted bagpipes and whistles) and Lucas Ashby (audio engineer, percussion).
As their name suggests, Deò infuses a spark of life into the world of Celtic music with their brand of high energy Electronic Dance Music.

The music on Deò is a mesmerizing fusion of electronic Scottish, Celtic, and Irish music. Their innovative sound is both timeless and cutting-edge, capturing the spirit of traditional music while pushing the boundaries of modern genres.
