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!

Gordon and Christy McLeod’s eclectic music spans a wide range of worlds including Americana, Celtic, Folk, Irish, Swing and Django-jazz, Bluegrass and Cajun. In a world of trendy and ever narrowing genres, McLeod Nine‘s shows offer a refreshingly varied pallet of styles and textures. While the roots of their musical tree are the American and Celtic traditions , the branches cover a wide patch of ground strewn with multi-colored leaves of blues, jazz, and even classical hues. Christy says ” We want to make sure in our shows that the next song is always something different from the last one!”
McLeod Nine have toured extensively in USA playing festivals, listening rooms and theaters and have traveled to Ireland over 20 times and studied traditional Irish music and dance at The University of Limerick. Gordon is a well-respected traditional Irish fiddle player and is sought after as a fiddle camp instructor. He has released two full length albums of Irish fiddle music with some of the best trad musicians in Ireland as guest artists.
