Since it has been two years since their last concert at the Irish Heritage Center, here is some background on the band…

Hailing from the picturesque west coast of Ireland, Boxing Banjo have quickly become one of the hottest musical properties around. Comprising four of the most accomplished Irish musicians, brothers Darragh and Mícheál Healy along with Joseph McNulty and Cillian King have amassed in excess of 20 Irish Championship titles on various instruments in traditional Irish music and singing along with 4 World bodhrán titles.

Having made their debut in the U.S. in 2019, they have acquired a legion of devoted followers who have been spellbound by their energy, charisma and musicianship. Described by the Irish Echo as “complete naturals on stage”, their live shows exude a feel-good factor which persuades the inner dancer and vocalist in every audience member. This has also been recognized internationally, seeing them awarded “Up & Coming Band of the Year” in the 2020 American Listener Supported Radio Celtic Music Awards. Combining a myriad of instruments including button accordion, tenor banjo, guitar, fiddle and bodhrán, their sound transcends musical boundaries bringing listeners on a truly captivating musical voyage like no other. Striking vocal arrangements from these “four gifted vocalists” (Folk World) afford the listener an opportunity to sit back and appreciate the nuances while equally allowing them to propel the band’s infectious choruses. In the words of The Irish American News “the time will go too quickly as the variety entertains.”
