Live Music With The Excuses Band

A five-piece band built on tight harmonies, driving rhythm, and the kind of chemistry that only comes from having lots of fun!
The Excuses band blend influences from folk, rock, Celtic, and modern acoustic music. Their sound moves from high-energy reels and anthems to stripped-back ballads that stop a room cold.
What started as a few friends jamming in pubs and small venues has grown into a powerful live act known for crowd connection, musicianship, and unforgettable performances. With soaring vocals, fiddle melodies, electric energy, and a rhythm section that keeps everything moving, we bring a show that feels both timeless and fresh.
Whether they’re playing intimate sessions, festivals, weddings, or packed venues, their goal is always the same: create happy music that people feel part of. Every set is built to get audiences singing, dancing, and coming back for more.
The band features Vocals, Fiddle, Guitars, Mandolin, Cajon, Bodhran, and Harmony arrangements that give our live sound depth, warmth, and intensity. Inspired by traditional roots and modern storytelling alike, they bring passion, energy, and authenticity to every stage we step on.
