July 15th • JigJam
When virtuoso Irish playing jumps the pond running naked through the wide open fields of bluegrass/Americana JigJam is born. Bluegrass and American Folk music originated from the group’s home, and now JigJam is here to take it back!
 
JigJam made its Grand Ole Opry Debut in Nashville in March 2023 to critical acclaim receiving a standing ovation from a sold-out crowd on Country Music’s biggest stage. The group was joined on the night by Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Steve Earle, Lauren Alaina, and many more. This Offaly and Tipperary-born band has started the first wave of attack in the new Irish invasion of Americana. ‘Foot stomping’, ‘high energy’ badassery is what you’re in for when you see this musical powerhouse live in concert.
 
Founding members from Offaly Jamie McKeogh (Lead singer and guitar) and Daithi Melia (5 String Banjo and Dobro) were joined by Tipperary-born Gavin Strappe (Mandolin and Tenor Banjo) in 2016. This year they are joined by Kevin Buckley (Fiddle) to make up this iGrass (Irish Bluegrass) quartet.
 
Described as ‘The best Irish band in bluegrass’ and ‘sparkling, infectious’ these lads have been hailed as ‘Ireland’s answer to New Grass Revival’
Bluegrass has its roots in Irish music and Irish immigration. iGrass and JigJam is what happens when the Irish find their prodigal son. jigjam.ie/
 
July 22nd •The Steel Wheels
Virginia-based indie folk-rock band, The Steel Wheels, has spent two decades crafting their own distinct style of American roots music. Renowned for their heartfelt lyrics, masterful musicianship, and astounding harmonies, they have captivated audiences with their authentic sound and storytelling. The band is also the founder and host of the Red Wing Roots Music Festival, a three-day music festival in the Shenandoah Valley that draws artists and music fans from around the world.
 
The Steel Wheels are Trent Wagner (guitar), Eirc Brubaker (fiddle), Jay Lapp (guitar), Brian Dickel (bass( and Kevin Joaquin Garcia (percussion). 
 
“As a band, our aim is to make music that acknowledges the pain and difficulty of the moment, but takes a step back to look at the harmony we can create through all that life throws at us.” -Trent Wagler  thesteelwheels.com/home
