THE RYE DEBUT CD NOW AVAILABLE! www.cdbaby.com/cd/therye
The Rye are an extraordinary five-piece from the West Coast of Ireland. They present one of the freshest and most exciting approaches to Irish Music heard in recent times.
Mike Farragher of the Irish Voice puts it thus: “The Rye play, in their words, ‘savage driven ceoil.’ They throw together modern rock melodies into a stew of expert traditional playing, turn-on-a-dime chops rarely seen outside a lower Manhattan jazz club, and an irreverence that ties the whole package together in a rowdy, exuberant bow!”
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)
Some highlights of The Rye's busy gigging schedule-over one hundred in 2008-include The Life Festival, support slots to Mary Coughlan, Delorentos, The Pale, two Germany Tours, including an open air gig for the St. Patrick's Day Celebrations in Munich with an audience of some fifteen thousand and headlining NCAD's Oxjam and Christmas Ball.
Galway Bay FM has described The Rye as “the liveliest band to come out of the West of Ireland since the Saw Doctors.”
“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.
Their weekly appearances in The Cellar Bar in Galway were praised as “one of the most exciting residencies in Galway...as if the ship manned by The Pogues has been taken over by an equally unhinged crew.” (Jimi McDonnell, Tribune Life)
"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 that pits frantic fiddling against a stomping beat and wicked acoustic licks." (Mike Farragher, Celtic Pulse)

I'm in Alaska for the past few weeks, spending 6 months here until the end of March although I'll be home at the end of November till early January. Stunning place, and a great interest in live music - but the scenery does it every time.
Hope all is well with you - it would be good to meet up again and hear some more of your music - maybe in December - although I'm in Rome then.......it's a hard life!
