About
The Strayaways are a powerful combination of virtuosity, enchantment, and soulful musicality.
London-born and Sligo-bred, Kevin Burke is a legend in traditional Irish music. His bow has driven the Bothy Band, Patrick Street, Open House and Celtic Fiddle Festival. His technical virtuosity is matched with soulful musicality, a deep knowledge of the Irish traditional repertoire, and a unique personal style. A generation of Irish fiddle players have been inspired and influenced by his silky-smooth tone, pulsing rhythmic bowing, and crisply executed ornamentation.
Raised in the Catskills, Dylan Foley is one of the most accomplished fiddlers in Irish traditional music today and a four-time All-Ireland Fiddle Champion. Hailed as "one of the finest fiddlers of his generation," Foley is known for his technical brilliance, dynamic style, and deep respect for the tradition.
Joining them is master accompanist, songwriter, and singer, Dubliner Eamon O'Leary. His understated virtuosity on bouzouki and guitar, and "beautiful, crystalline songs" round out this exceptional trio.
The Strayaways are truly a dream team of Irish music.
