Oak, Ash, & Thorn

Oak, Ash, & Thorn is an Irish trad. band hailing from the County Bucks, PA, United States of America. Bound by strong ties of work, family, and a shared love of traditional song, the boys of OAT have been entertaining audiences in the Delaware Valley and beyond since 2014.

Their high energy live performances attract a raucous audience to the theater and pub alike to sing, dance, drink, and be merry. Led by banjoist Yuri Gohen, flautist Richard Finch, and guitarist Jesse Ketchel OAT produce their own arrangements of tunes across the Irish canon; jigs and reels, ribald drinking songs, rebel ballads, and heartfelt love songs are their stock in trade. Their focus on vocal harmony, accompanied by the soaring melodies of fiddler Anthony Carlson, and the beating anchor of percussionist Kevin Kelly, makes their live show a must-see for fans of celtic music and culture; as do their unique and often signature arrangements of songs ranging from classic to obscure.

In 2024, directly on the heels of their annual St. Patrick’s Day tour, Oak Ash & Thorn entered the studio to record a follow-up to their 2019 debut. With this new effort, they hope to harness the fluid energy of their live show, and give a shot in the arm to the traditional folk and celtic music they hold dear. The new album, tentatively titled The Wars of America, will be released some time in 2025.
