The Brynes Brothers
Family has always been a key element in the
Celtic music genre, and The Byrne Brothers from Donegal, Ireland definitely
bring new life to a timeless theme! While many youths their age concentrate on
the latest technology, brothers Luca, 19; Finn, 18; and Dempsey; 14, are focused
on their individual style of music and traditional Irish dancing. The
accomplished Byrne Brothers have entertained crowds at Walt Disney World, toured
across the United States, and amassed a huge following on social media to draw
in new listeners to the historic genre.
Joined by their father Tommy on fiddle, bagpipe, and
guitar, the brothers' latest album, The Boys of Doorin, is a true delight
for fans searching for the next generation in Celtic classics. 18-year-old banjo
and mandolin player Finn wrote, recorded, and produced multiple tracks on this
enthusiastic record with all family members excelling in their variety of
instruments. Eldest brother Luca on accordion leads the animated melodies while
youngest brother Dempsey drives the rhythm with his traditional Irish bodhran
drum and whistle.
From the harmonious intro "Dawn Patrol," The Boys of
Doorin showcases The Byrne Brothers' connection as a family and loyalty to
their Irish heritage. One of the many standout songs is "Raggle Taggle Gypsy," a
new twist on a traditional folk song with zest and humor in both vocals and
melodies. Midway through the record, "Wendy's Waltz" is sure to charm fans of
classic Irish instrumentals on the more mellow side. Finally, the title track
"Boys of Doorin" is a high-energy ballad that especially shines with a moody
string melody: perfect for a live performance of The Byrne Brothers' renowned
Irish step dancing.
Overall, The Boys of Doorin proves that talent isn't
limited to age, and even a traditional genre like Celtic folk can be appreciated
by anyone! The Byrne Brothers' enthusiasm, personality, and natural gift for
music are prominent throughout this record and are sure to shine further as
their career naturally flourishes. The Boys of Doorin is an album that
will have listeners dancing along with The Byrne Brothers and experiencing the
magic of Irish melodies as a family through song.
