Debuting in the U.S. in 2012, We Banjo 3 is a Galway and Nashville-based quartet––comprised of two sets of brothers, Enda & Fergal Scahill and Martin & David Howley––who seamlessly converge the shared and varied traditions of Americana, Bluegrass, and Celtic music with pop-sensible songcraft to create a truly unique and gratifying signature sound. Brilliantly commanded instruments––banjo, fiddle, mandolin, guitar, and percussion––effortlessly elevate lead singer David Howley’s propulsive voice with pitch perfect harmonies. Live on stage, WB3 deliver their music with such palpable rapport, stunning precision, and infectious energy, making them fan favorites at a broad range of festivals including Merlefest, BottleRock, Summer Camp, ROMP, Wintergrass, Milwaukee Irish Fest and more. Their recordings, Haven (2018) and Roots To Rise Live (2019), both reached the #1 position on Billboard’s Bluegrass chart.
We Banjo 3’s last live streamed performance, We Banjo 3: Live From Ireland, on March 12, 2021, marked the first time all four WB3 band members were together and performing live on stage since the pandemic shut down their touring in 2020. For this epic virtual show, the band partnered with over 55 venues throughout the U.S. selling almost 3,000 tickets worldwide. The response from WB3’s extremely loyal fans was outstanding!
WB3 is looking forward to the world re-opening post COVID-19 with a return to U.S. touring in the late summer/fall of 2021. Info available at webanjo3.com with full 2021 tour dates to be announced soon.
