SCYTHIAN ANNOUNCES THE LINEUP FOR THE STRING BREAK CRUISE! 🚢🎻Tickets are officially on sale for Scythian’s String Break Cruise 3, and this year’s lineup is stacked with some of the BEST bands in bluegrass, Americana, Celtic, and roots music.

Steep Canyon Rangers lead the charge with their Grammy-winning songwriting and unmistakable sound, joined by Americana favorites Carbon Leaf, returning for their second year aboard the ship. Fan favorites Tophouse are back for an incredible third year, continuing to bring their infectious energy and genre-blurring style to the cruise.

Also on board are powerhouse roots bands The Steel Wheels and House of Hamill, along with Irish bluegrass sensations JigJam (back for their second year) and Celtic legends The Elders (also returning for year two). Rounding out the lineup are crowd-pleasing Irish trad masters Socks in the Frying Pan, returning for their third unforgettable year. Also returning as an OFFICAL Special Guest is THE Dancing Fiddler Hillary Klug!

⚠️ This cruise WILL sell out — don’t be the one watching from shore while the party sails without you.
