The Bog Band is a talented group of young people with a passion for Irish music. The band leader is Pete Moss (aka Mitch Fanning), a strings teacher at the Washington Waldorf School. Most band members play fiddle and many of them play multiple instruments including flute, guitar, bodhran, cello, tin whistle and uilleann pipes.

The Bog Band was created in September, 2004 when a group of sixth grade boys at the Washington Waldorf School (Bethesda, Maryland) and their strings teacher, Mitch Fanning, formed a fiddle club to play traditional Irish tunes. As their talent and success grew, other young musicians joined. Today, the Bog Band has about 20 musicians ranging in age from ten through teen (and beyond).

The Bog Band has performed to great reviews at events and festivals throughout the Baltimore/Washington area including: Potomac Celtic Festival, The Folklore Society of Greater Washington, Smithsonian's Discovery Theatre, The DC Mayor's Awards Gala, Montgomery County Arts Council events, ShamRock Fest, and MetroPerforms!

In 2006, the Bog Band recorded its first CD, "Got Bog?". The band plans to release its second CD late summer. The new CD will be a live session recording that captures the excitement and enthusiasm these young musicians bring to their performances.
