long bio
Anna Seda (cello) and Jacob Deck (Celtic harp, whistles, vocals) are a Boston-based Celtic duo whose music is built on the timeless beauty of traditional folk melodies. Their collaboration first caught attention with Charlie on the MBTA, a parody of Boston’s transit system that reached local and national news. Since then, Anna and Jacob have become known for weaving humor, intimacy, and story into their performances — creating evenings that feel less like formal concerts and more like shared community experiences.
Together, they’ve appeared at Club Passim, the New England Folk Festival, Harmony on the Green (opening for Shannon & Matt Heaton), Groupmuse house concerts, and Boston States Fiddle Camp. With roots in countless jam sessions and folk gatherings across the city, the duo continues to explore and celebrate Celtic tradition while drawing audiences into the joy of live music.

Anna Seda’s bio
Cellist Anna Seda has dedicated her artistry to the mastery of not only the classical canon but explores contemporary, folk, and popular music. Anna began her cello studies in Denver, Colorado at age four catching the “bug” when she first learned a fiddle tune by ear.
Holding degrees from the University of Colorado, University of Denver, and the Boston Conservatory, some of her most influential mentors include members of the Boston Symphony, Tacaks String Quartet, and Grammy winning multi-style cellist Mike Block, of which she works as his executive assistant.
Internationally, Seda has appeared at the Adriatic Chamber Music Festival in Italy, the Singapore Symphony, Great Wall Soloists in Beijing featured on NPR, and took a sabbatical in Cusco, Peru to teach cello.
Prior to the pandemic her New England based life was dizzyingly full of appearances with orchestras, opera pits, concert series, and studio musician recordings but in the quietude of the “Long Pause”, Seda has stepped into the realm of content creation, bringing more than 60,000 people worldwide entertainment, education, and music on the daily.
Jacob Deck’s bio
Jacob Deck has spent years immersed in the rich traditional music scene in Boston and beyond. With harp, flute, and voice, he carries an eclectic mix of songs and tunes forward into the future.
