The Irish duo Ye Vagabonds consists of the two brothers Brían and Diarmuid Mac Gloinn, who began their careers as street musicians in their hometown of Carlow in southwest Ireland. They quickly developed a distinctive style inspired by traditional Irish folk, rootsy Americana, and Appalachian folk singing. The result: a rich, rustic soundscape with dreamy, tightly woven harmonies, thoughtful lyrics, and delicate acoustic instrumental playing.
They have been recognized at the RTE Folk Awards in recent years, winning Best Folk Group and Best Folk Album in 2019 and 2021 (for their 2019 album The Hare's Lament), as well as Best Traditional Folk Song for 'The Foggy Dew' in 2019 and for 'I'm a Rover' in 2021. They count Irish President Michael D. Higgins as one of their biggest fans.
In 2012, Ye Vagabonds relocated to Dublin and quickly became a regular and welcome presence on the dynamic live music and session scene, which explains the authenticity and sophisticated technical skill that characterize their performances. Deeply rooted in traditional, familiar sounds, their music never succumbs to cliché, but rather celebrates its own strong character, clearly standing out from the crowd.
Sun It's no surprise that Ye Vagabonds caught the attention of renowned music filmmaker Myles O'Reilly in 2014 and were invited by Glen Hansard to open his European tour in 2015. Their debut EP, "Rose & Briar," was also released in 2015. Since then, the duo has toured Ireland (most notably their innovative 2021 canal boat tour "All Boats Rise," filmed by Myles O'Reilly), the UK, and Europe with the likes of The Villagers, Roy Harper, and Lisa Hannigan, as well as playing their own sold-out shows in Ireland, the UK, France, and Switzerland.
Support: Andrea Samborski
Born on Vancouver Island on Canada's west coast, where rainforest meets ocean, Andrea grew up among bears, whales and ancient cedars before her life unfolded across continents.
Perhaps it is because of these formative years in the midst of boundless wilderness that people say they can "feel the space" in her songs. Nature - branches, rocks, earth and water - runs like a common thread through her work. As does the heart in its rawest form.
Her haunting, poetic songwriting, her voice, which seems to come straight from the marrow, and the palpable connection at her live performances are the hallmarks of Andrea's artistic work.
After two decades of playing her songs almost exclusively solo, in recent years Andrea has joined forces with Andy Hidber (bass/guitars) and Giacun Schmid (drums/guitars) - both multi-talented musicians who are also the Guitar Barn's (Magneton Guitars) guitar-making dream duo. In this protected space, surrounded by countless, breathtakingly handcrafted guitars, the three have explored their songs together and woven new nests, skins and feathers for them.
The band project SAMBORSKI emerged from these sessions. Their Sea Wolves EP will be released in fall 2025.
