formed last year after we played a St. Pat's gig as a 'pickup' band of five compatible session players. We had so much fun we decided to keep it going and see what we could build. Our goal is to play the music traditionally, while keeping it fresh with interesting arrangements and a few harmonic or melodic surprises.
