Storming new quartet, blending of the drive of Irish traditional music and bluegrass along with heart and soul of folk & Appalachian music. Gadan is a new project created by four experienced musicians of Irish trad and European folk/rock scene. They come with years of experience touring the major European and US traditional and alternative folk music festivals. Their high–energy repertoire has a powerful live appeal and a sound comparable to new–trad acts such as Talisk, and WeBanjo3, but with a unique identity thanks to years of experience in several folk scenes, from Appalachian & Old Time to English folk and Irish traditional music. Their lineup consists of two banjos – tenor & clawhammer – fiddle, mandolin, bouzouki and guitar creating an “strings–only” sound with a hint of electronics,driven by a powerful rhythmic pulse.
