Loved for their strong vocal harmonies and driving rhythms, The 19th Street Band delivers high-energy Americana, hillbilly, gypsy-rockin’ good time music that drives audiences mad. The band comprises Caolaidhe, pronounced “Cally”, Davis (guitar/harmonica/vocalist) who hails from Holywood, Northern Ireland alongside fiddle/mandolin/vocalist/partner-in-crime Meghan Davis, and their rockin’ rhythm section Christopher Brown (bass) & Patty Dougherty (drums). Their songs touch the heartstrings, lift the spirits and remind us that life is just a beautiful mess.
The 19th Street Band has entertained crowds at US festivals such as DelFest, Charm City Bluegrass Festival, National Cherry Blossom Festival, The Washington Folk Festival, Iowa Irish Festival, and Maryland Irish Festival. Overseas, they have been featured as a regular artist at the Open House Festival in Bangor, Northern Ireland and the Dunmore East Bluegrass Festival in Co. Waterford and recently showcased at Your Roots Are Showing in Killarney & Belfast. The band tours Ireland/UK every year and brings 40+ American fans along for the ride.
