The Blue Ridge Music Center presents Scythian in our outdoor amphtheater on The Blue Ridge Parkway just south of Galax, VA, just north of Mount Airy, NC and just east of Sparta, NC.
Founded by brothers Alexander and Danylo Fedoryka who are first-generation sons of Ukrainian immigrants, Scythian from the start has been a search and love for the "old time, good time" celtic-influenced music. They were inspired by a tale told by their grandmother of a roving fiddler who came into her farming village every six months or so. Once he was spotted, messengers were sent to all the outlying fields and mills and work ceased; everyone gathered in the barn where they danced all night and danced their cares away. This spirit is what has motivated Scythian from its inception. The band's secret power is their ability to engage their audience no matter the venue or circumstance, and every Scythian show ends with people dancing and smiling.
