Sounds Like "Going out for the evening in today’s music scene does one of two things…. A loud frenzy of crowd and volume, or an evening of just plain fun. FinTan is the latter, a combination of cutting-edge Irish music and a wonderful show. …Mixing old standards with the new blend of FinTan’s original music, and you’re lost in the world between Leprechauns and Guinness."

   About FinTan
FinTan seamlessly blends traditional Irish songs with up to date arrangements to create roaring tunes with their unbeatable combo of strong vocals, tight harmonies, and amazing instrumentals. FinTan brings the energy that gets music fans excitedly clapping their hands and stomping their feet, without ever sacrificing the roots of the traditional Irish music sound.

But don't ask us -- here's what they are saying about FinTan:

“Are you available tomorrow night? We’d like to have you back…”

James
Manager, Sheehan’s, Killarney IRELAND

“What a treat it was to have you at the Pub. We had a wonderful fun night and look forward to FinTan's return.”

Jay Tieber, owner
Dublin Pub, Dayton, OH

“The whole bar had a great time and all the servers did really well. You brought in a great crowd. Wow!”

Jason, server and bar manager
Dublin Pub, Dayton, OH

“You guys were awesome… We had regulars and non-regulars say that they can't wait for you guys to come back!”

Stacie, bar manager
Claddagh Irish Pub, Mason, OH

“Thanks so much for the great show. Your stage show is very lively. I love the choreography, (Karen, Tamara, and Bryan). You guys are a riot !!!!"

Malkum Gibson,
legendary blues musician

Beth Hicks of Knot Fibb'n put it simply:
"You sounded good and were perfect for the space. You also had a nice audience crowd and entertained them."

Patrons too many to name repeat comments such as:

"We have never had so much fun listening to Irish music"
"Just the right volume, and clear sound - we could hear and understand lyrics all the way in the back"
"Usually the bands are so loud we sit outside – but we stayed inside to hear you play"
"We love your energy and love your songs and tunes!"

About FinTan's CD, "Rising":

A rousing and spirited collection of traditional and original tunes from central Ohio’s favorite pub and Irish festival band, Rising will get you up and dancing if the ballads don’t have you crying in your beer. FinTan is not content just to deliver fresh versions of Irish pub staples such as The Foggy Dew (about the 1916 uprising) and Molly Malone (girl dies of fever, returns as ghost); guitarist Patrick Savelli contributes three strong original tunes that capture the authentic “Celtish” sound, proving that there’s new gold at the end of the old rainbow.

Many thanks to Bryan for helping me record a few Fiddle parts last night. He helped me record a version of "Star of the County Down". Please stop by and check it out. Thanks again Bryan.
