Celtic Soul was formed in the summer of 1998, in Jacksonville Florida. Founded by former Seven Nations and Field Marchall Montgomery Pipe Band drummer Nick Watson, the band has grown with new members like Trevor Flynn & Lori Poteat and long-time friends Andy King and Jana Light. Together they have been winning over audiences in their hometown and all over the Southeast where Celtic Soul has developed a diverse crowd of followers. Their blend of old meets new makes for one of the most exciting sounds heard in Celtic music today.

From traditional, to rock, all styles can be heard in this unique gathering. The marriage of fiddles and guitars with modern keyboards, bass, and drums, forms a truly exciting sound, and the use of angelic vocals in traditional melodies creates a captivating atmosphere for the listener. From slow haunting ballads to foot-stomping reels and jigs, this band shows a talent for diversity and innovation in music.

Current Line-Up: Nick Watson (drums, vocals), Jana Light (lead vocals, bodhran, pennywhistle), Lori Poteat (fiddle, backing vocals), Trevor Flynn (guitar, backing vocals), Andy King (upright bass, backing vocals).
