Derek Byrne - Singer Songwriter

My music is Celtic Bluegrass with a world beat. My songs are inspired by the love of my wife and children and my love for Ireland. 
I toured the world with Riverdance as a singer and percussionist for 6 years. After 4 years with my Irish Band "Eidir", I am now a solo artist. I play banjo and all sorts of ethnic percussion. The beats are looped live and acoustic, then layered with five string banjo and vocal harmonies to create a new tribal texture. Sean Beglan, syncopates and improvises through Irish dance in most of my shows. My set list is primarily original with a good mix of old Celtic folk songs.  Come see a show, I guarantee you'll find something new.
