The John Byrne Band is led by Dublin native and Philadelphia-based John Byrne. John and the band are touring the country as an acoustic 4-piece featuring banjo/accordion, fiddle/cello, guitars and bodhran. Their debut album, After the Wake, was released to critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic in 2011. With influences ranging from Tom Waits to Planxty, John’s song writing honors and expands upon the musical and lyrical traditions of his native and adopted homes. The album draws heavily on John’s love of Americana and Celtic Folk music. The band "Home Brew" will be opening the show.
