Syr

Kyle MacCallum, who wanted to blend the heritage of the Celtic nations with a contemporary musical style, founded Syr (pronounced "sire" and meaning "sir").

The group, from Columbia, South Carolina, combines the talents of five professional musicians to create powerful songs that move audiences with their driving, melodic compositions and themes of love, victory, loss, and battles. The band draws inspiration from Celtic stories, history, and legends to write songs that move listeners today. 

Syr members compose and perform in their unique Celtic rock style, creating music with a broad appeal for today's audiences. Kyle, on vocals and guitar, is joined by his sister, Laurel MacCallum, on vocals and percussion, Worth Lewallen is on fiddle, Kelly Vance is on bass, and Greg Vance is on drums.

From their start on small stages in South Carolina, Syr is now invited to larger festivals in the U.S. and worldwide, and their original music is played on Celtic radio everywhere.
