CrossBow is a high-energy Celtic band originating in Allendale, Michigan and has had the pleasure of sharing their distinct sound to a wide variety of audiences. The dynamic group of ten initially met at Grand Valley State University as students and young musicians where they founded one of campus' first Celtic music organizations. As GVSU alum, CrossBow has made a home in the beloved Irish/Scottish music community and has been featured all over the Midwest.
