Seattle Irish Band performances
This Seattle Irish Band arose, phoenix-like, from the premiere Irish band in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest for two decades. This trio’s polish and obvious affinity for playing traditional Irish music together makes for an exciting listening, and drinking, experience. Since 1989, together and in various combinations they have played from coast to coast – including the largest Irish music festival in the country – and as far west as Alaska and as far east as Japan. They are in high demand for concerts, corporate events and weddings.
Seattle Irish Band members
The fiddler and guitarist/singer have been mainstays of the Northwest Celtic Music scene since the mid-1970’s. Together with three friends they formed the region’s first traditional Irish music band, in 1975, and have continued playing together ever since. The third member of this Seattle Irish Band, the Irish piper, grew up in Dublin learning in one of the best environments possible, the Pipers’ Club headquarters on Thomas Street. He played extensively in Europe and Canada before moving to Seattle. He has long been widely regarded as one of the foremost pipers in North America.
