Bio
There was a time when men were men and music was roared not whispered; a time when 'windswept' and 'artistic' went hand in hand with 'belligerent' and 'psychotic'; when the catatonic state was merely a pastime and alcohol was inhaled not for pleasure but survival; a time before chicken rolls, skinny jeans, the wheel. It is these times THE RYE evoke; nay,create anew. The Rye- a quadrupedal semi-musical beast stitched together from all four corners of the known island, a tune-spluttering troglodyte of the damp and depraved innards of a crumbling Galway City- is an elemental force akin to a brain-damaged pensioner's wit. Unbridled, red-raw and half-oiled. Made up of Kevin on howling, winking and acoustic divilry, Cian on five-course banjo, lead guitar and pints of liver, Barry on grinning between bass and tenor banjo, and the ginger Dessie on animalistic unprovoked drum-battering, The Rye is a folk heroine's sopping wet reoccurring dream. Rife with an idiosyncratic charisma, The Rye pay homage to both the whiskey-stained barflies of Southern old-time good-timery and the toothless gin-soaked grimaces of traditional Irish yarn-spinners in equal measures, poured into the broken glasses in the hands and beneath the feet of those who are enlightened. The Rye- the physical embodiment of grand craic for want of an evening, all twelve tribes rolled into one, the Proper Job. "No one embodies the spirit of Jerry Garcia quite like the Rye, my new favorite band. They are on this disc with 'Big Dip,' a fiery instrumental jam against a stomping beat and wicked acoustic licks." (Mike Farragher, Celtic Pulse) ..........View THE RYE's EPK.. .............. .... -

Bio:
A gig with The Rye is high-spirited, full-blown entertainment. "Not only does the band have that really fantastic ability to make even a stone statue tap its feet, they also have this amazing stage energy and presence that makes it difficult to turn away once they start performing...this band has talent dripping from their ears. They are each fantastic at what they do, and most importantly, they seem to enjoy that fact. (John O'Hara, The Galway Music Scene Review) “Come rain, hail or snow The Rye will put on a great performance, and it was obvious to see that they enjoyed playing as much as their audience loved listening and dancing to it” writes Breifne O’Rourke of the Cruinniú na mBád Festival in Kinvara. "No one embodies the spirit of Jerry Garcia quite like the Rye, my new favorite band. They are on this disc with 'Big Dip,' a fiery instrumental jam against a stomping beat and wicked acoustic licks." (Mike Farragher, Celtic Pulse)
