About

And So It Goes is an exciting collaboration between some of Kansas City's core Irish Trad musicians. Its members have performed across the United States for festivals, concerts, and events of all kinds.

And So It Goes brings the heartbeat of Ireland to the heart of America in a mix of poignant ballads, stirring reels, and rousing medleys. With the driving energy of a traditional Irish pub session, it's not uncommon to see audience members clapping, stomping, and calling out at a show.

Additional booking notes

Can perform 100% acoustically, on provided sound systems, or bring our own sound system (for an added fee). Additionally, we can also send a smaller group (2-3 musicians) if that better fits your event vision or space requirements. All details will be discussed with the client at the time of booking.
