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!

Ready for 2023? Wec start the year with a private party, but then we will be back at Hennessy's Tavern Hermosa Beach for a pub show with NEW MUSIC.  More pub shows will be announced soon, but along with those, we'll be back at both the Riverside Dickens Festival in February and the Original Renaissance Pleasure Faire in April and May.

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 5%, and it's usually closer to the former. We appreciate your support!
