Atlanta’s Stage for Celtic culture

Cailini, the Celtic Woman Tribute Band
Cailiní is an Atlanta-based Celtic Woman Tribute Band! We originally formed in 2015 as a Celtic/Appalachian band, but the timing wasn’t quite right for us. Since then, we’ve honed in on the music that moves us most: that in the style of Celtic Woman! We have also restructured a little bit. We are now a band of three vocalists, Leah Bajalia, Olivia Ivey, and Courtney Loner, and a fiddler (who also sings!), Michelle Winters. Joining us on stage to fill out the band are Atlanta-area first call musicians, Dustin Cottrell (keys/vocals), Steve Florczykowksi (bass/vocals), Joey Garcia (flute), and Wayne Viar (drums). We have been blessed to learn from original Celtic Woman members Lisa Kelly (vocalist) and Máiréad Nesbitt (fiddler), who have mentored us in preparation for our debut concert on March 9, 2025.

Who we are

Our mission is to bring the theatrical and literary traditions, mythology, and storytelling from and about Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England to Atlanta. Aris presents full productions and staged readings of contemporary and classical plays. We celebrate annual events such as Burns Night and Bloomsday. We participate in other events that feature the literature, poetry, and music of the British Isles. Aris is committed to breathing fresh life into timeless classics as well as introducing our audience to the work of new and emerging contemporary playwrights.
