Steve and Ruth Smith have a mission. Both being born of Scots-Irish heritage, they hope to take those who listen to their music on a journey. Not just through time...but through the history of the music itself. Their music stems from the traditional sounds of Ireland and Scotland that migrated into the Appalachian Mountains, through the early music of the Southern Highlands, and on to new original songs that are representative of the Celtic Appalachian musical heritage and experience.

Steve and Ruth have been performing together for over 30 years now. They have performed their Celtic Appalachian music extensively in the U.S. from North Carolina to Hawaii. In addition to that, they also have been cultural music representatives of the Appalachian region, touring and performing for many years abroad in Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Tonga, and Canada.

Their music definitely takes the listener on a journey they will not soon forget.
