The Rakes of Killarney


The Rakes of Killarney is a merry band of fools dedicated to performing Celtic folk music and covers of Irish/American pop music. Founded sometime during the previous century, this lively Pub Band haunts the Green Rooms of Connecticut, Western Massacusetts, and Southern Vermont- inciting Gallic revellers from humor, through shock and into delerium!
The Rakes are:
 
Ted Kennedy-accordion & woodwinds
Stephen Glover-piano, vocal
Lepre Carne-woodwinds & whistles
Garrity McJackson-bass
Benjamin Mitchell-guitar, vocal
Shamus O'Brien-fiddle, mandolin, banjo
Brewster Kelly-boron, drums, percussion
 
The Rakes appear in varying combinations from Solo to Septet!
