We have more fun playing Irish music than should be legal, and we want your guests to be a part of the experience. If you like your Irish music a bit more on the traditional side, we are the band for you. We play a high energy mix of Irish drinking songs, rebel songs, ballads, and traditional instrumental tunes, and our tag line says it all: Trotters Wake ...bringing the pub to your party! TM
After 17 years leading Trotters Wake Irish Band in Arizona, I relocated to Pennsylvania and reformed my band under the same name. We play in 1-5pc combos including acoustic guitar/electronic kick drum, fiddle, accordion, bodhran (Irish hand drum), and bass guitar.
Best!
Drew Monasky
Drew played the lunch following a memorial for my mother. The music was excellent, but it was Drew’s exceedingly accommodating attitude that made the day. He learned 2 songs my mother had specifically requested, he hit the right tone on the rest of the music that had not been specifically requested, and he welcomed a family member singing with him in a song that held particular significance. He was wholly professional but could easily have fit in as a member of my large Irish family. Drew was responsive and communication was easy and prompt. We would happily hire him again, and given his leadership, I trust the whole band would be a delight.
Drew and Gerry were amazing. We had a great rainy day luncheon and it was such a pleasure and treat to have them. They were professional especially during set-up and breakdown. They engaged toe audience well.
So enjoyed Sandy singing the Parting Glass
Trotters Wake was the perfect addition to our memorial service and reception. Their music was so enjoyable and I was very happy with their performance and professionalism. I highly recommend them to anyone who would want Celtic music for their special occasion.
Outstanding performance at Birthday Surprise Party, Harp Brewery in Gilbert AZ. Drew was super easy to coordinate with and easily added my requests for songs into their set list. Very professional and authentic with a great sound - a must have for any event where Celtic/Irish music is needed. Having Trotters Wake play added an aspect to the parry which I couldn’t have obtained otherwise. Thank you!!! Will use again.
Very accommodating to our corporate conference needs. Great tunes, too!
They put on a wonderful show and our residents loved it!
We booked Trotters Wake for our mortgage burning party and what a party it was! They *truly* brought the pub to the party, and made it an incredibly memorable event for everyone involved. Our guests were clapping and cheering, dancing, and having a wonderful time through the whole performance. Long after the concert was over, people were still raving about the band. Two thumbs up and we'll definitely book them again!
We had Trotters Wake for a birthday party and they were wonderful in so many ways. They are timely and responsive to emails and helpful with recommendations. Additionally, they are very professional and put on a personable and stellar performance. We had such positive comments after the party - I would book them again anytime.

We do our very best to engage the audience and get them involved in our show. We do this by inviting people up to sing the chorus of a song, leading group sing-alongs, and through jokes and dialogue.
Bio:
With 17 years of experience leading the 6pc Irish band Trotters Wake in Arizona, I have relocated to Pennsylvania, and I am rebuilding my band under the same name. I am currently available for solo shows of acoustic guitar and kick drum but expect to be adding more instruments later in 2023 (electric bass, fiddle, accordion, and/or penny whistle).
