Sláinte Irish Band from Boston, MA

Slainte is a 6-piece Irish-American folk rock band, formed in a Boston College dorm room in 2013. We feature four vocalists, acoustic and electric guitar, bass, fiddle, whistle, flute, mandolin, saxophone, and drums. Our style is rock-influenced Celtic folk. We love playing upbeat versions of the classic pub songs marrying rockin' electric guitar and sax solos with traditional fiddle and whistle parts. Lots of Dubliners, Clancy Brothers, Pogues, Saw Doctors, some Flogging Molly and Dropkicks, and some more contemporary Irish artists like The Cranberries or Ed Sheeran. We also do a number of classic rock, country, pop, and 90's non-Irish covers where appropriate. Eagles, CCR, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Killers, Foo Fighters, Billy Strings. We have a really wide repertoire of non-Irish music and are happy to tailor our set to whatever is right for your event. Our home base is the Irish pub scene downtown Boston (bouncing between The Black Rose and Mr. Dooley's), and we travel often to New York and beyond for festivals, weddings, and special events.
