Overview

The Jason Pollack Irish/Celtic Band in the San Francisco Bay Area brings the dynamic, inspiring music and song of Ireland, Scotland and other Celtic lands to life. The band features the great Irish traditional music combination of instruments: flute, fiddle, guitar, and bodhran (the Irish frame drum). We play the irresistible Celtic dance tunes (jigs, reels, hornpipes, waltzes), and sing the beautiful to bawdy songs of the Irish/Scottish tradition. High energy, fun, powerful acoustic music for venues great and small!

The Band was the Perfect Choice

The over 80 guests arriving at the St. Patrick’s Day Fundraising Dinner on Saturday, March 15, 2025, benefiting worthy St. Mary’s College students, were greeted by the lilt of soft Irish tunes. The Jason Pollack Irish/Celtic Band talented trio continued treating the guests to 4 hours of traditional Irish music through the Happy Hour and the traditional Dinner. The cooperative advanced planning insured that the selection of tunes would please the guests. The variety of tempos and instruments displayed the talent and professionalism of the three musicians. That no one left before the evening ended with the classic arrangement of “The Parting Glass” was testimony to their enjoyment of your band. The St. Mary’s College Guild thanks you for making the event such a success.

Jason Pollack Band was the highlight of the event

Our Caledonian Society of Rossmoor - a Scottish group, thoroughly enjoyed Jason, Valerie, James and our resident Bodhran player, July Kelly during our St. Andrew's Celebration and Holiday Party.
Talented musicians all, providing a variety of music with some sing-along tossed in. Enjoyed by all and looking forward to having Jason and his great musicians join us in other events.

Incredibly amazing experience! Brilliant band

Wow. This band was just incredible. The music was of the highest professional level. They came on time (if not even early!), had all the right accouterments and made our event one to remember. All the tunes were such a hit with our audience they had us all singing and dancing! I'm already looking to find another event for them to play again! 5 stars. You will not go wrong with this band!
