The Paul Brock Band is fronted by one of Ireland’s most celebrated traditional musicians: Paul Brock on button accordion and melodeon. The band also features acclaimed pianist, composer and arranger Denis Carey as well as fiddler/dancer/ bodhrán player Jake James and multi-instrumentalist and dancer Tara Howley.

Passion, precision, integrity and diversity: steeped in the Irish musical tradition, the band seamlessly incorporates elements from American old time, French-Canadian, and other Celtic traditions. Paul Brock Band was hailed “Traditional Band of the Decade” by Irish American News.
