The next chapter from the brothers who redefined Irish folk music.For over a decade, David and Martin Howley have been at the heart of a musical revolution. As founding members of We Banjo 3, the Galway-born brothers brought Irish traditional music to new heights blending it with Americana, bluegrass, and contemporary songcraft to create a sound beloved across the world. Their electrifying live shows, virtuosic playing, and brotherly chemistry made We Banjo 3 one of the most celebrated acts on the international folk scene.Now, the brothers return with a brand-new project: Howley a re-imagining of that signature sound for a new era. With Martins dazzling mastery on banjo and mandolin and Davids unmistakable voice and rhythmic guitar, Howley is both a continuation and a renewal rooted in tradition but reaching fearlessly toward the future.Joined by two world-class artists, Kiana June (fiddle, vocals) and Caitlin Leahy (percussion, flute, vocals), Howley expands the brothers trademark sound with lush harmonies, fiery fiddle, and rhythmic flair. The result is warm, vibrant, and deeply human a band that feels both comfortingly familiar and thrillingly new.
