Eirian
Eirian grew up on a farm in rural north Wales, near Llyn Y Dywarchen. A dreamy, energetic child, he enjoyed playing the harp and scrambling through the Gwynedd wilderness. When he was twelve, Eirian won a music contest and was invited to form a band with several other talented young people. Their new group was christened Gwraidd (IPA:'ɡwrai̯ð'), meaning "root."
Gwraidd spent years playing their way around Wales, then the United Kingdom, before receiving their first invitation for a European and North American tour. Now the band is here, in Los Angeles, taking meetings and hoping to cut a deal or two. The rest of the time, Eirian is free to explore. A far cry from Snowdonia, there's much for Eirian to discover about his new home...
Cerddoriaeth
Are you musical? Do you like to sing, play an instrument, or just listen? Eirian loves all kinds of music. He plays four instruments himself: harp, fiddle, crwth, and guitar -- plus he sings, as is mandated for all Welsh people.
Charity
Are you a fill-in-the-blank with a heart of gold? Got a cause to promote? Eirian wants to do the right thing-- whatever that is, in this crazy world.
Claim to Fame
Do you watch a lot of TV? Gwraidd is a modern-traditionalist folk band from Wales. You might have heard one of their songs on that one BBC show that was so trendy last year. You know, that one. The Medieval Times-looking one where some princess stepped out on her husband with a farmer. Then everybody got the plague.
