The John Byrne Band is led by Dublin native and Philadelphia-based John Byrne. Critics have called their most recent work "The Immigrant and Orphan “a powerful, deeply moving work that will stay with you long after you have heard it” (Michael Tearson-Sing Out), “The Vibe of it is, at once, as rough as rock and as elegant as a calm ocean..each song carries an honesty, integrity and quiet passion that will draw you into its world for years to come” (Terry Roland – No Depression). With influences ranging from Tom Waits to Planxty, John's songwriting honors and expands upon the musical and lyrical traditions of his native and adopted homes
