Sunday Bluegrass at Tangled String with Po Ramblin' Boys
At a time when most people feel constantly distracted by technology and barraged by the news, authenticity and straightforward honesty are paramount. There’s something about the music of The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys that cuts right through the noise of the world and speaks plainly to the soul. Formed in the Smoky Mountains, The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys are at once exactly what you would expect and not at all what you would expect from a tattooed East Tennessee Bluegrass outfit. No strangers to hard work, the boys are as much at home riding in their 1965 GM Tour bus as they are crawling underneath to fix it when it needs maintenance. But they take pride in being ambassadors of their genre, and the group has brought their music from rural bluegrass festival stages to the rock clubs of Europe, with stunning results
The Irish Drum Presents John Doyle and Michael McGoldrick
John Doyle and Mike McGoldrick, together, represent the finest musicians performing in traditional Irish music today.
Born in Manchester, UK, of Irish parents, Mike has been a touring musician since his teen years, and most notably distinguished himself in the top shelf bands, Lunasa and Capercaillie. With his powerful and yet subtle flute, whistles and uillean pipes, Mike has performed all over Europe, the US, Canada and worldwide with Kate Rusby, Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, and like John Doyle, is a regular for many years with the Transatlantic Sessions at the Celtic Connections festival in Glasgow. He is a recipient of every possible folk music award in the UK, a highly prolific tunesmith, and very much in demand in the studio.
John likewise has been a professional since a teenager when he hit the road with Seamus Egan and Joanie Madden almost immediately upon his arrival in New York City in the early '90's; he then went on (along with Seamus Egan) to found the groundbreaking Irish American band, Solas. He has since forged a formidable solo career as producer, musician, songwriter and singer. John's distinguishing percussive and emotive finger picking on guitar has been the choice on over 150 recordings of traditional Irish, bluegrass, oldtime, English folk and Americana with everyone from Eric Clapton to Tim O'Brien, Kate Rusby, Alison Brown, Liz Carroll, Linda Thompson, and a very long list of luminaries in folk music.
John and Mike individually are the very best in each of their respective instruments; collectively they are a powerhouse and truly not to be missed.
Tangled String Studio Presents Kyran Daniel
‘I knew at that time he would be an incredible force in music…he was always received with thunderous applause and standing ovations…’ - Tommy Emmanuel AM
‘likely the most influential acoustic guitar composer of his generation … publicly unsung, his pieces have shaped the progression of the art form since his emergence onto the world stage, only growing stronger through his dormancy … we’re excited to see what this master of the guitar presents in his renaissance’

“The General Dance will be released on 2/7/25.
This album features 11 of my original compositions played by a world class group of musicians that I feel lucky to work with and call my friends.
Saxophonist Gary Wheat, pianist Choko Aiken, bassist Nick Walker, drummer CJ Brown, and I spent a couple days recording at Ivy Manor in Sheffield back in July. It was a special couple of days recording because we were all comfortable with the material, felt at home in the studio, and at ease working with each other as well as our engineer Jared Przybysz and his crew.
After that, the album was mixed by Jared and then mastered by Dave Darlington at Bass Hit Recording, NYC. Faith Carpenter did the art and design for the full album that you see in the video above plus album art for two singles.
Videographer, Blake Butler filmed and edited the video you see above as well as full length videos for the albums two singles.
