   About Rig The Jig

Rig the Jig are six musicians who met through mutual friends and their love of music. Over the last four years, Rig the Jig have evolved into one of the leading lights in Irish traditional / folk music.

"When Rig the Jig let fly, a spirit of connection exists between Irish traditional music and contemporary American material, which is both fresh and invigorating as well as sounding completely natural and unforced." John O'Regan Folk Roots

"Rig The Jig is one of the most enjoyable Irish bands I've heard in a long time." The Daily Vault I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Dear Rig The Jig,

Every time that we listen & write music... play an instrument... dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/image/video engineering process... something is healing inside...

When we share it with friends... something is healing all over...

Love can drive... in a simple way... everything

We are connected

Estimada/o Rig The Jig,

cada vez que escuchamos o escribimos musica... tocamos un instrumento... bailamos... o trabajamos en procesos de ingenieria de audio/imagen/video.... algo se sana por dentro...

Cuando lo compartimos con otros... algo se sana en todas partes...

El Amor puede conducir... de manera simple... todo...

Estamos conectados...
