Gadan – JFFA Season Concert

A storming new quartet, blending the drive of Irish traditional music and bluegrass along with the heart and the soul of Folk & Appalachian music.

Gadan is a new project created by four experienced musicians of Irish trad and European folk/rock scene. Their high–energy repertoire has a powerful live appeal and a sound comparable to new–trad acts such as Talisk, and WeBanjo3, but with a unique identity thanks to years of experience in folk scenes, from Appalachian & Old Time to English folk and Irish traditional music. Their lineup consists of two banjos – tenor & clawhammer – fiddle, mandolin, bouzouki and guitar creating an “strings–only” sound with a hint of electronics, driven by a powerful rhythmic pulse.

Gadan’s performances build energy, taking audience to ecstasy with their wide spectrum of refreshing yet traditional sound leaving no one unmoved.
