The Brooklyn Bards are an acoustic traditional Irish band featuring tin whistle, fiddle, mandolin, tenor banjo, guitar and percussion as well as a trained Irish tenor and tight harmonies. We perform a wide variety of styles from the old Carolan tunes up to recent trad repertoire including reels, jigs, ballads, drinking songs, marches and rebel songs as well as some classic rock and oldies if desired. We perform regularly at pubs, restaurants, festivals, parties and weddings. Let us bring the magic and joy of traditional Irish music to your event!
I hired The Brooklyn Bards to perform at our senior living residence and give residents a taste of Irish songs and tunes. They were easy to work with, arrived on time, sang well, and were a pleasure to have. Nice mix of tunes from Fields of Athenry to Black Velvet Band etc.
Doesn't get much better than having an Irish band play at your Club on St. Patricks Day, especially when it's on a Friday night. The band trucked out from Brooklyn and delivered a great traditional, family-friendly set for their first, and then after the kids left, the band kicked into their second set with more of the traditional Irish bar sing-along classics. It was a really fun night and the band delivered as promised! Will assuredly book them again!
