The beautiful, powerful and majestic sounds of Irish music are what the Bracken Band are all about.
Using a Celtic guitar and a fiddle with a backdrop of a percussionist, the band is influenced by artists like the Pogues, The Bothy Band, Van Morrison, Horslips, The Waterboys, U2, the Chieftans and Alison Krauss.
They’ll have the party jumping in no time with their jigs and reels, Bluegrass tunes, romantic songs, and drinking songs.

“The musicians were fantastic -- they were the toast of our entire ceremony and reception. My husband is Scottish, but we also love jazz, and the ensemble found a way for us to blend both. They played pieces for us that were not too folksy but still gave us the unique feel we were hoping for and it did not go unnoticed. Guests told us it was some of the best live music they had heard and that made our special day even more memorable.”
