Campbell Road is a four member band playing original arrangements
of traditional Irish and Scottish music.
Band members include: Dan Tuttle
– guitar, banjo, fiddle, and vocals Jessamyn Tuttle – flute, whistle, vocals, djembe, claves, and bodhran Jon Nauert
– fiddle, bouzouki, octave mandolin, vocals, and djembe Barbara Tuttle – bodhran, bones, djembe, tambourine, and other percussion Although Campbell Road, in
its current configuration and under its current name has only existed since
1997, we have actually been playing together for much longer. The band evolved out of an
earlier band that Dan was in, which played under various names, including The
Predator Parasites, Violet and the Dead Husbands, The St. Cecilia Ceili Band,
and, every St. Patrick’s Day, the Upper Valley Pseudo-Irish String Band. Jessamyn joined in when she
got old enough to be allowed in the bars, and Barbara took up the
bodhran. Jon arrived on the scene in
1994, earning a place in the band by marrying into the family. At its peak, the Pseudo-Irish String Band
had nine members crammed onto one tiny stage.
Shortly thereafter, other members of the band drifted away. Whittled down to the core
family, the band played under the names Tuttle Family Band (too plain), and
Fhideag (too hard to spell or pronounce), but neither of these really fit the
bill. A new name was needed, but what? We needed a sign… |

…About this time, Chelan
County decided to rename the stretch of Old Blewett Highway where Dan &
Barbara live to Campbell Road. It
fit. It was easy to spell. It was easy to pronounce. The band became Campbell Road in 1997. Campbell Road has recorded
three CDs: v
By Blood or Marriage, released in 1997 v
Bare Bones,
released in 2002 v
