Cele De

Cele De

Cele De is a contemporary Celtic band based in San Jose, California. The group consists of Olivia Valderrama (flute, vocals, Irish whistle, piano), Robby Valderrama (guitar, bass, piano), Peter Kistler (percussion, vocals, guitar), Amy Kistler (violin, vocals), and Samuel Davidson (violin).

The group's name derives from the Culdee, Kuldee or Céli Dé (lit. "vassals of God") formed an ancient monastic order with settlements in Ireland and Scotland. In early Irish manuscripts the name is Cele De, that is, God's sworn ally.

Born between 1985 and 1988, the groups youthful energy and brilliant virtuousity has put them among America's most talented musical innovators. They have drawn comparison to bands including Nickel Creek, the Duhks, Jars of Clay, and Seven Nations.

In March 2004, they beat out over 110 bands to win America’s Christian Music Showcase. Since then, they have shared the stage with notable Christian acts including Sonic Flood, Sanctus Real, George Huff, Darrell Evans, Monk and Neagle, among others. Finding acclaim in the Celtic/Folk area, they regularly play with big names like Tempest, the Wicked Tinkers, and the 2005 national banjo champion, Brian Anderson. In 2006, they will be opening for Joy Williams, headlining their own show at Spirit West Coast, playing at Cornerstone Music Festival, as well as performing at Don Quixote’s International Music Hall. Their second full-length album was scheduled to be released in July 2006.

Cele De has gained popularity on community sites such as MySpace and PureVolume in recent times.
