About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

"The Brennans" is an Irish and Bluegrass Family Band consisting of Bridget Brennan and her daughters, Veronica and Bernadette, on guitar, fiddle and bass and featuring Riley Brennan on banjo or bodhran. The Brennans play Irish, Bluegrass, Celtic and Folk Music. At Fall Festivals they'll teach the audience to dance the Virginia Reel. They are busiest around St. Patrick's Day, when they can be found at pubs, parties and gatherings. They are also in demand at historic re-enactments and fairs because of their repertoire of the music of Irish immigrants to the United States. Dressed in period costume, hoop skirts, bonnets, (except Riley) and playing music the Irish brought to Pioneer California, they present a beautiful picture and a fun show. Photo slideshow has recent as well as past band performances - the girls have literally grown up on stage! Past customers include San Juan Capistrano Mission, Heritage Hill Historical Park, The Norbertines of St. Michael's Abbey, the Carmelite Sisters in Duarte, McKenna College in Claremont, Palomar College, Pasadena Waldorf Educators, the Presentation Sisters in Orange, the City of Mission Viejo, West Valley Church of God, Santiago de Compostela in Lake Forest, St. Norbert's in Orange, Sts. Simon and Jude in Huntington beach, Maggie's Pub in Santa Fe Springs, Molly Bloom's Irish pub in San Clemente, and many Knights of Columbus fundraisers around the county. In addition to their Irish and Bluegrass music, Bridget, Riley and the girls also sing in the Diocesan Choir at Christ Cathedral and the St. John the Baptist Latin Mass Choir in Costa Mesa. Thank you very much! The Brennans

Review by Taryn C.

CelebrationReviewed on October 17, 2022From Palos Verdes Estates, CA

I hired The Brennan's for a celebration of life, and they were so wonderful to work with. Bridget was responsive and accommodating to questions/requests, and she was very communicative leading up to the day of. As for the music, it was absolutely perfect. They play a bluegrass and Irish music combination and have an extensive song list. We were a fairly small group, it was not too loud or overwhelming - they truly created the perfect ambiance and atmosphere for what I was going for. I highly recommend The Brennans for any events you may have!

Our group of 70 loved The Brennans song choices, pretty harmonies, excellent musicianship and, most of all, their sense of humor. We hope we can see them again in the future.

Wonderful music, awesome show, charming family!! Loved every minute of it, they are total professionals, and really fun people... would hire them again, absolutely! Can't wait! So many raves from our audience, still talking about how much they loved the Brennans ... very family friendly, very cute, very funny too! Thank you to the Brennans, and to GigMasters for making it so easy to find them.
