Small Batch Irish Band from Frankfort, IL

Acoustic guitar, traditional bodhran, Irish fiddle, and lush harmonies: this is the heart-warming recipe used for many years by Small Batch to entertain festival crowds, pub-goers, private parties and hooleys of all sorts. With a repertoire that includes traditional drinking and story songs of Ireland, rousing jigs and reels, and a touch of American acoustic favorites, Small Batch can provide a quiet intimate evening of music or a rip-roaring party that will have everyone dancing and singing along. Including time with their former band, The Whiskey Brothers, Small Batch has been the house band for Ballydoyle Irish Pub in the Chicago suburbs every Sunday since 2013. They have also performed at Hughie McClafferty's, The Forge, Gaelic Park, Durty Nellies, Blue Chip Casino, and Google headquarters in Chicago, IL. To keep the music fresh for regulars, they have a special guest each week playing a variety of melody instruments. Guest artists include: Lexi Kennedy-2018 All Ireland Fiddle Champion and current fiddler in Milwaukee based band, Tallymoore. Joe Sheehan-Accordion player with Irish ceili band, Tulla. Evelyn Thom-Fiddler with Kerry Irish Productions and Trinity Irish Dancers. Brianna Brown-Two time All Ireland Champion in both concertina and mouth organ Paula Johannesen-former violinist at Civic Orchestra of Chicago and 2nd place in National Scottish Fiddling Revival (F.I.R.E) Competition. The group can play as a duo, trio, or larger group for pubs, festivals, weddings, corporate events, and private parties.
