     Jamie O'Brien is a London-Irishman who has sung and played guitar for as long as he can remember. He delves back into his family's Irish and music hall repertoires, mixing them with songs he's learnt from friends and fellow musicians over the years. He's played extensively in a dozen or more countries on two continents, as a group member (F na¡, Laune Rangers, RHB), an accompanist or solo. He made Pennsylvania his home for nearly two decades before moving to the Tucson area in 2006. He has a solo album available (My Wild Irish Boy) and looks forward to a new CD being released later this year.

     Most of the material is rousing Irish singalongs in the manner of the Clancy Brothers and the Irish Rovers, but the band likes to show their instrumental prowess by trotting out the occasional jig or polka. A smaller portion of the music is from the folk music revival of the 1960s...reworked traditionals and compositions by Peter, Paul and Mary, Gordon Lightfoot and the like. Then there's the stuff that doesn't fit in any proper category...just following our collective nose to see where it leads. No purists here...just rowdy entertaining music.
