The Jeremiahs

The Jeremiahs is an Irish folk band that comprises four musicians who have come together with the common goal of writing, composing and performing folk songs and music. They have travelled extensively, bringing their music far and wide and are heralded as a live band not to be missed. With a wonderful mixture of newly composed songs and tunes in the folk genre and a well selected catalogue of older folk songs, they are sure to rouse all the emotions.

The Jeremiahs consist of Joe Gibney from County Dublin on vocals along with James Ryan of Dublin on guitar - on flute from Clare is Conor Crimmins - and filling in for Matt Mancuso is fiddler Andrew Finn Magill for this concert.

“Great songs, poignant, emotional vocals, masterful guitar and fiddle/flute conversations that work like fine embroidery – no wonder critics love them. You will too!”

— Larry Groce, host of NPR's Mountain Stage.
