About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

Looking to add a Celtic/American touch to your wedding, party, or event? Need the folk/rock roots-music of the Midwest and the old country? Whiskey Sunday is LA's hardest working Irish/Americana band. Instrumentation includes, fiddle, mandolin, bodhran, guitar, banjo, drums and upright-bass. Whiskey Sunday plays traditional Irish tunes and ballads along with modern Irish classics from bands like The Waterboys, The Pogues, Flogging Molly, Mumford and Sons etc! Irish-American songwriters not forgotten in the Whiskey catalogue include Bruce Springsteen, CCR, The Band and many more. In addition, the Whiskey Sunday catalogue of originals revved up folk songs will put you right at home. Los Angeles based Whiskey Sunday is Patrick Joseph Rieger, Jesse Olema, Chad McKinsey, Bryan Dobbs and Vito Gutilla. Rieger, from the icy-backstreets of Minneapolis, formed the band in 2012, combining his Americana roots with a hearty pour of revved up Irish-folk, prairie winds, and river-side cabin-hymns. Whiskey Sunday has opened for James Fearnley of The Pogues, Flogging Molly's Ted Hutt and Marc Orrell of Dropkick Murphys. They released "Holy Water" in 2014, on Tam O'Shanter Records, the definitive heartland story for the Southern California audience. Music that asks you to pour something single-malt, sit on the porch, and sip reverently. *******.***

Review by Laura O.

FuneralReviewed on October 20, 2024From Newport Beach, CA

Patrick was the first musician to get back to me when I posted that I needed someone to play at my mother's Irish wake, and he was so kind and sympathetic. I looked at a couple of other bands, but chose Whiskey Sunday, in part because I was impressed with his fast response and personal kindness. But I was even more impressed with the band at our funeral service. They had great range, from slow, melancholy Celtic tunes, to energetic Irish and Americana tunes. We had nothing but sincere compliments afterwards on "the band". Patrick's beautiful rendition of "The Parting Glass" left many in tears. Whiskey Sunday was the perfect band for us.

Whiskey Sunday:

Thank you Laura! What an honor it was and such a soulful group! -Patrick

CelebrationReviewed on March 12, 2024From Burbank, CA

Talented, energized, accessible, and professional, this band was the highest of highlights for my husband’s Celebration of Life. Whiskey Sunday nailed the event with deep feeling, tender moments mixed alongside lighthearted foot-stomping fun. Exactly what we needed. Leader Patrick Rieger’s song selection brought me the sound of home, finding the best felt lyrics and tunes to honor our loved one. My family and friends are still praising Whiskey Sunday! I highly recommend this outstanding Irish Band that plays with passion!
