Paddy O’Brien is regarded by serious players and collectors of Irish Traditional music as one of the traditions most important repositories of more than 4,000 compositions of jigs, reels, hornpipes, airs, and marches. He is also a master musician on the two-row button accordion winning prestigious awards including the Oireachtas champion four times, and the All-Ireland Accordion champion in 1975. He has played and toured with many musicians including James Kelly, Martin Hayes, Susan McKeown, Tommy Peoples, Peter Ostroushko and others at concerts and festivals throughout North America, Ireland and Europe.

Fiddler Nathan Gourley hails from Madison, Wisconsin where he grew up in a musical family that often traveled to folk and fiddle festivals across the country. Now based in the Twin Cities, Nathan puts his passion for Irish music into practice as a member of Máirtín de Cógáin Project, The Doon Ceili Band and O;Rourke’s Feast. His high energy fiddle playing brings both sweetness and drive to the duo sound.
