Christer Saarikko

CHRISTER

Rescued from a band of Reindeer herders in northern Finland by a folk metal band who got lost doing a photoshoot, Christer discovered his grandfather’s fiddle at the family farmhouse in Finland at the age of 10. It only had one string but he was determined to learn how to play it and hasn’t been able to put a fiddle down ever since. Known as the “Viking God of Small Stringed Instruments” by the people who know him the least, he rarely is seen without his hair. Sometimes mistaken as for Bond villain, he is actually quite striking in the right light. Of course you can’t always count on that light. If you buy him a Jameson he will regale you with stories of his time in a Turkish prison. From studying music at the University of Florida, playing in symphonies, working with gold and platinum record producers in the studio, to tearing it up in rock bands, Christer plays the fiddle like it killed a member of his family and is ready to blaze new trails with Mac Tier! 

DAN

Since he was a child, Dan always aspired to be like the famous rock legends that he’s idolized. This Colombian national started playing music at the age of 7, and had his first band by the time he was in high school. His vast musical knowledge has come from being in bands that perform for various genres like heavy metal, pop, rock, disco, Latin son, reggae, and classical. Later in his career, he went to university and received his Bachelor of Music. Now, he is adding Celtic rock to his repertoire and is sure to not disappoint!

Dan Lelei
Ken Walker

KEN

Considered by many to be the 2nd best drummer in the band, Ken hits things. Usually, but not limited to, drums. Often told he is the handsomest member of the band by his mom, Ken has played drums for several Celtic bands including Whiskey Dregs, Seven Nations, The Muckers, and many others. On show days Ken can be found talking. A lot. For the love of God Ken talks a lot. If you see him we recommend hiding.
