McLeod Nine, the Swingy Stringy Funky Folky duo from Texas, plays jiggy, jazzy, gorgeous acoustic music, with roots deep in their Celtic and Americana past. Their award-winning songwriting (Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk finalists and Americana Fest, Nacogdoches winner) is front and center in their shows and draws from a deep well of musical and life experience. Most of all, McLeod Nine want their audiences to be energized, inspired and to have fun! McLeod Nine are Christy and Gordon McLeod.
Gordon McLeod is an award-winning songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. A multiple winner of songwriting competitions, his original songs have been licensed for film and television projects as well as on numerous compilations.
Christy McLeod has been called “a fun-seeking missile” for good reason. She radiates warmth and energy and conveys a love of life through her singing and playing that is infectious, igniting spontaneous human happiness whenever she performs. Her clear sweet voice is the perfect match for her powerful guitar style
Besides their work with McLeod Nine, Gordon and Christy are founders of the acclaimed Americana Celtic roots band Beyond The Pale and The Aisling String Trio. Gordon is a former violinist and guitarist with The Texas Gypsies.
