The Paul McKenna Band

The Paul McKenna Band

http://www.paulmckennaband.com

“An exciting folk band coming out of Scotland” New York Times

“One of the best bands in their genre of their generation” (The Living Tradition)

“A band with the potential to dominate the Scottish/Irish traditional scene for the next twenty years if they can overcome their obstacles” (Fatea Magazine)

Scotland’s Paul McKenna has long been ranked among our finest younger singers and songwriters, armed with a powerful yet intensely emotive voice and passionate social conscience, often expressed through his songs, a combination that’s brought frequent comparisons to the great Dick Gaughan.

He and his band – comprising Robert Gregor (fiddler), Conal McDonagh (bagpipes/whistles), Conor Markey (banjo/kazooie/guitars) and Ewan Baird (percussion) – draw on both Scottish and Irish roots, in a dynamic, full-bodied array of original and traditional material, along with songs by like-minded authors including Peggy Seeger, Alistair Hulett and Jim Reid. Following 2016’s tenth anniversary release Paths That Wind, they’re currently at work on their fifth album.
