Genre bending trad music.
An eclectic Irish-American band with members from varied facets of the rich Twin Cities music scene. Members include Datta Hartman (accordion and vocals), Bill Lee (harmonica, whistles, bagpipes), Ric Lee (fiddle and mandolin), Shawn McBurnie (vocals and bodhrán), John Goolsby (upright bass and vocals), Sherry Taplin (clogging and autoharp), Steven Rippe (guitar and vocals), and Sunil Bawa (percussion).
Irish Diplomacy shines when playing original material you'd swear came from the tradition, twining Appalachian and Irish roots, or heating up an old chestnut. Come listen, dance, and sing along!
Have a taste!
Our album is here for the listening on Bandcamp!
