COVID porch concert

The guys said they hadn't been able to get together for a while so they ended up hanging out way past our officially scheduled time. We were missing one band member because covid...but they sound great together and obviously enjoy playing and being together.

Even better this time

We hired Na Rosai in 2016 for our holiday party and they were great! We hired them again this year and they were even better!
Thank you Na Rosai and Gig Salad too.

Na Rosai warmed our hearts and rocked the house!

This band has a sound that is so sweet, the music is strong, spirited, proud, and warms the heart. Even though none of our crew knows how to do a formal Irish jig, Na Rosai got nearly the entire crew up and dancing. It was perfect! Excellent band!

Na Rosai made our wedding event magical

Na Rosai was a sheer delight to have play at our wedding. We knew we wanted an Irish band and I soon found them on GigSalad, went to hear them in town, and booked them right away. They are awesome! They worked with all our requests to play throughout the event: all 4 played acoustically as guests arrived, then 2 played the processional & recessional, then they played with their sound system during the dinner - including for our first dance. They even sent us a rehearsal recording of it ahead of time so we could practice to it! The music was a beautiful and festive backdrop to our celebration, and the guests loved it! They were friendly, prompt, well prepared and always accessible. We had them play whatever they wanted, and it couldn't have been more magical.

50th Birthday party to remember!

Let me describe this group as musical EAR candy. We had them play my 50th and they were AWESOME!! Getting them to play the party was super easy, very agreeable to terms. I felt that they were worth the money and very easy to work with as a whole. They set up on their own, picked the music that was suitable for the crowd and I did not have play "director". I had a small get together and the noise level was perfect. People were able to socialize without having to yell over the music. Everyone really enjoyed the music and the interaction of the band.

About

Na Rosai performs traditional Irish, Appalachian, Scottish, and Breton tunes and songs on fiddle, flute, uilleann pipes, bouzouki, and whistles. Their focus has been exploring the links between the musical traditions of the British Isles and North America by arranging tunes from the two regions with a traditional sensibility. Na Rosai is Irish Gaelic for "The Roses" in honor of Portland, the City of Roses.

In 2010 Erik Killops returned home to Portland, Oregon after studying Irish Fiddle at the University of Limerick in Ireland. Shortly after he met recent New Hampshire transplant and Irish bouzouki player Richie Rosencrans and California native and piper Preston Howard at sessions around town. In 2012 flute player Conor O'Bryan moved to Portland from Chico, California and immediately joined the ranks of the group.

The band has released two studio albums which are available at the bands website and CD Baby.

Additional Booking Notes

Na Rosai is a 4-piece acoustic group. In addition to performing acoustically as in a traditional pub session atmosphere, we have the equipment to amplify our sound or plug into a house PA system. The stage area must be large enough to seat 4 comfortably. The venue should be able to provide four armless chairs.
