For over 50 years John Whelan has been hailed as one of the world’s best living Irish button accordion players. Originally from England and now on Vashon Island, the seven-time All-Ireland champion fearlessly explores the creative reaches of music, artistry and expression while preserving the musical roots from which he originally flourished.
Guitarist Clint Dye is from rural Pennsylvania, where he took an interest in music in his high school years. He studied music composition and jazz guitar before taking on professional musical work around the world. Clint has settled in the Pacific Northwest where he has been active in the Irish music scene.
Lennart Jansson is a Irish traditional multi-instrumentalist musician from Seattle, and he is known for championing the use of the baroque viola d’amore in Irish music. His recent performance appearances include the West Coast Tionól in Seattle, the Cascade Celtic Festival in Leavenworth, and the Acadia Festival of Traditional Music and Dance in Bar Harbor, Maine. He is a mainstay of the Irish session scene in Seattle.
