A new year brings a new round of performances in the Martine Performing Arts Series at St. Bonaventure University, and the spring semester’s offerings open with a performance by a group hailed by The Washington Post as “Washington, D.C.’s most energetic and eclectic band.”
Scythian, which is based in D.C., was founded about 12 years ago by brothers Alexander and Danylo Fedoryka, sons of Ukrainian immigrants. What began as a group of college buddies playing Celtic music in the streets has matured into a band that is a headliner on Celtic, bluegrass and Americana festival circuits.
The band is known for its energetic performances of what it calls “old time, good time music.” After a recent performance in Winston-Salem, N.C., a review in The Camel-City Dispatch read, “The playing is technically brilliant, but it is the energy that carries the day.”
