The Galway, Ireland and Nashville-based quartet,\u00a0We Banjo 3<\/a>\u00a0is coming to the SteelStacks on Sunday,\u00a0January 16, 2022<\/strong>. The group, comprised of two sets of brothers Enda and Fergal Scahill and Martin and David Howley, converges the shared and varied traditions of Americana, bluegrass and Celtic music to create a truly unique signature sound. Actor, comedian and musician Steve Martin says of the band, \u201cWe Banjo 3\u2026are making waves\u2026here in America. They are playing the banjo in a style that I didn\u2019t even know could be played like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
