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.
