Hailing from the West of Ireland, the powerful and emotive Alan Kelly Gang sit at the cutting edge of the traditional and world music scene.
Fronted by Ireland’s piano accordion maestro (described by New York’s Irish Voice as ‘in league with the best piano accordionists in the world’) and with three critically acclaimed masters of their craft in tow, the band have been taking global audiences by storm.
Performing with acclaimed New York singer and flautist, Steph Geremia, master guitarist, Ian Carr and double bassist, Kevin McGuire – they blend instinctively to to create a sound with depth, groove and musicality of the highest order. The sheer energy and variation in repertoire that they infuse into their live performance has set them apart from the mold and won them accolades from critic and music lovers alike. Though firmly rooted in the Irish tradition, the Alan Kelly Gang seamlessly introduce Galician, Breton, Scottish and Americana influences.
With strong dynamics, driving rhythms and buoyant harmonies - skilfully executed and soulfully delivered. Their music will draw even the most fainthearted listener into the passion that they put into the music they play – magical, joyous and uplifting!
