Seán Gavin, is one of the most highly regarded Irish musicians of his generation. Master uilleann piper and flute player, he is the first and only musician born outside Ireland to win the prestigious Seán Ó Riada Gold Medal.  His recordings have all both gleaned top praise from Irish music critics.  Seán is now back in his native Detroit where he continues to play, teach, and promote traditional Irish music. https://irishmusicinstitute.org    www.SeanGavinMusic.com

Accordion wizard Colm Gannon’s playing is as vibrant and beautiful as the Connemara hills. Born in Boston of Connemara parents, he learned his music from his father and brother Sean. He has many recordings to his credit and is widely recognized as one of the young masters of the tradition. Colm has studied and lectured on the connections between American culture and Irish music, and the history of Irish music, particularly in Connemara, focusing on accordion players of the last century.

… a superb bit of pure drop music that stands tall on strength of Gavin and Gannon’s musicianship… straight traditional music played with extreme class.
