Glengarry Bhoys
A passion inspired by their respective musical backgrounds; skills honed in the Glengarry melting pot music scene; an against-the-trend-pig-minded-approach to playing their self-penned songs in the battle-scarred pubs of Eastern Ontario, were the necessary ingredients that spawned what is now an internationally acclaimed alternative-roots band.

Jamison
Jamison grew out of the Irish-American streets of Northeast Philadelphia in 2003. It has become one of the most high energy shows on the east coast, with dynamic reels mixed with rock, reggae, modern pop, hip hop dance beats and more – all while never straying far from their Irish roots.

The Prodigals
The Prodigals combine original lyrics and melody with a genuine passion for the traditional music of Ireland and a funky energy that is pure New York. The roots of the music are unmistakably traditional Irish; the branches that shoot off delve into rock, worldbeat, jazz and punk, and the result has been called “the best Irish trad-rock band.”
