GADAN returns to Chicago Gaelic Park on February 1st!
Gadan is a storming new band blending the drive of Irish trad and bluegrass with the soul of folk and Appalachian roots music – all spiced with unmistakable Italian flair!
Founded by Lorenzo Testa and Jacopo Ventura – two renowned Italian musicians from the Irish and European folk scene – the project quickly evolved with the addition of Joan Gatti, an outstanding young fiddle virtuoso bringing a fresh and contemporary sound to the band’s identity. In 2024, Gadan expanded its international lineup by joining forces with Enda Scahill, world-renowned tenor banjo player and founder of We Banjo 3, and Eric Long, acclaimed Appalachian songwriter, singer and clawhammer banjoist from San Francisco.
With no less than three outrageous banjos, plus fiddle, mandolin and guitar, Gadan delivers a powerful strings-only sound that bridges Irish tradition and contemporary roots music. Their electrifying live performances combine precision, groove and storytelling, proving that you don’t need drums to make a crowd dance.
Doors open at 5:30pm. Concert begins at 6pm.
