Danny Diamond and Brian Miller

Minnesota-based duo Danny Diamond (formerly of Slow Moving Clouds, Swan Lake/Loch na hEala, and Mórga) & Brian Miller (Bua, The Lost Forty) bring together two of the top Irish folk/traditional musicians in the US. Their soulful and compelling live performances run the gamut from romantic waltzes to tearaway reels, punctuated by impeccable arrangements of newly-unearthed traditional songs.

Building on their 2021 duo album, Let Fly, their live set digs deep into Diamond's roots in the north of Ireland, showcasing rare and unusual repertoire played with rhythm and sensitivity. These instrumentals sit alongside new arrangements of rediscovered Irish-American folksongs from the Northwoods of the Upper Midwest.
