Storming new quartet, blending of the drive of Irish traditional music and bluegrass along with heart and soul of folk & Appalachian music.

Gadan is a new project created by four experienced musicians of Irish trad and European folk/rock scene. They come with years of experience touring the major European and US traditional and alternative folk music festivals.

Their high–energy repertoire has a powerful live appeal and a sound comparable to new–trad acts, but with a unique identity. Their lineup consists of two banjos – tenor & clawhammer – fiddle, mandolin and guitar creating an “strings–only” sound with a hint of electronics, driven by a powerful rhythmic pulse. For summer tour 2024 Gadan will be joined by banjo master and award-winner Enda Scahill from We Banjo 3!

Gadan’s performances build energy, taking audience to ecstasy with their wide spectrum of refreshing yet traditional sound.

Gadan‘s power leaves no one unmoved. You don’t need drums to groove.
