Green Ashes

For over 10 years now, Los Angeles based Green Ashes has been playing high energy, dance compelling Irish Folk, Celtic Rock, and other traditional music forms, including bluegrass and Americana. One night they’ll show up with acoustic guitars, mandolins, banjos and upright basses. Other nights they’ll wind everything up to 11 and roll in with Stratocasters and Fender Twins blazing.

One of the hardest working Irish bands in Los Angeles, mastering their craft playing pubs, cafes, weddings, special events, and even ancient cruise ships (they played the Queen Mary Irish Festival on 2 consecutive years). They’ve played most of the Irish Festivals in Southern California and they are still the band of choice for the LA Scotch Whiskey Festival – The Peatin’ Meetin’. They’ve held multi-year residencies at The Irish Times in Culver City and have played St Patrick’s Day gigs there for the last 10 years. Indeed, CBS News called Green Ashes at Irish Times “one of the best bets for live music on St Patrick’s Day”.

<;>They’re ready to make 2019 a great 10th anniversary year for themselves and their fans with the release of a brand new EP – “ Cannery Row” – named after the venue in Redondo Beach where they made their debut in 2009. “Cannery Row” features 3 original compositions and 1 traditional Irish song. The release marks a subtle yet significant move away from traditional music to a truly authentic sound.
