THE WEE HEAVIES

Jay Harkey . Peter Merideth
Steve Neale . Aaron Schiltz

An off-the-wall a cappella band dedicated to music from and influenced by Celtic traditions. . .and whatever they feel like singing next

---

*The Wee Heavies (Aaron Schiltz, Peter Merideth, Jay Harkey, and Steve Neale) started singing together in the Shaw Neighborhood of St. Louis in 2013. The mostly a cappella band has won a following with their mix of Scottish, Irish and American folk music that combines tradition with innovation and weaves together a unique take on the songs they sing. With their voices (and occasional instrumental accompaniment) the Heavies create a sound rich in harmony with unexpected twists and an energy that has their audiences clapping, stomping, and singing along. Between songs, the lads are just as entertaining through their humorous rapport and engaging storytelling.

"Having the opportunity to hear such fine singing is a treasure and these lads have a very bright future indeed."  
​

​-Brian McNeill, Internationally Acclaimed Scottish Singer, Songwriter and Performer ​

*The Wee Heavies (pronounced "Wee" and then the plural of a thing that is Heavy) are named after
​a variety of Scottish beer that they unanimously don't recommend trying.
It makes a great band name, though.

The Wee Heavies are available for concerts, festivals, weddings, and parties.
