A Southern California folk band formed in 2006 with traditional folk music influences, Sportive Tricks brings you Celtic with a kick. From time-honored sing-alongs to sea chanteys to covers with a twist to original songs, the seven members of Tricks each bring their voices, instrumental talents*, experience, and energy for a foot-tapping good time. Sportive Tricks plays year-round at events and shows, mostly in California and Nevada. If you're looking for a fun and versatile band that's equally at home at pubs, festivals, historical events, fairs, or private parties, drop us a line!

Now that the Original Renaissance Pleasure Faire in Irwindale has concluded, we're back to pub shows! Our first will be at Hennessey's Tavern Seal Beach on Saturday, July 2nd at 8:00 p.m. We also have a few private gigs coming up, but don't worry, we'll be posting more dates of upcoming shows soon!

Our latest album, Every Trick in the Book, is available here on our site! Twenty-six instruments, ten voices, and sixteen tracks including traditional, covers, and originals. Visit our shop* for more information, and the CD will also be available at all of our live shows. 

Check back here or follow us on Facebook for more announcements.

*When you purchase directly from independent artists rather than through conventional music sites, 100% of the funds go to the band (for us, it goes to our our instruments, equipment, CD production costs, etc.). Conventional music sites only give the artists between <1% and 9%, and it's usually closer to the former. We appreciate your support!
