Tony Burling on guitar, Maria Shiel on bodhrán and Maria Shiel on Viola make up the New Mexico based celtic trio that is Seanchaí (pronounced shan-a-khee). Seanchaí means 'storyteller' in Irish and that is exactly what this band strives to do through their eclectic and energetic live shows. Blending Irish, American and European influences together, their shows weave through epic musical landscapes that will invite you to dance with your ancestors and dream of past lives.
Brayden Schmick is a multi-instrumentalist, singer and producer. All starting from his collaboration with Grammy Nominated Gabriel and Dresden on his track "Remember" and then releasing his first solo EP "Inner Journey" two years later in 2022. He continues to produce his own imaginative, ambient cinematic, healing music and perform with many other groups. The last couple years he has performed primarily in the SW and NW with Salamander Collective, Tone Ranger, Seanchai, Stephanie Silverwing, and now his new duo Ancient Fusion.
Tony Burling is a born and raised Santa Fean. He has played in several Santa Fe-based bands, including the instrumental band, 'Fire for the People' and folk-art band 'Moonthistle'. His love of Irish and Celtic music came from listening to his dad's Chieftains' records when he was young... and now he writes his own epic fantasy sagas on guitar.
Established Irish songwriter and musician, Maria Shiel, plays the bodrán (traditional Irish drum pronounced 'bow-ran') with Seanchaí. She travelled four and half thousand miles from the west coast of Ireland to study art therapy in Santa Fe. It is here that she met Tony and Brayden, and has embarked upon a new musical journey of enlightenment - one where she gets to bang out 'the call of home' with the musical trio that is Seanchaí!
