Last week at MerleFest, we sat down for a chat with Scythian, a progressive Celtic/gypsy outfit that played to several packed crowds in Wilkesboro, North Carolina. During the interview, the D.C.-based band discussed life on the road, the exaltation of playing live, as well as the hardships of high school baseball, among other topics.
