A Fresh New Sound in Irish Traditional Music

Emerald Isle brings together two very talented musicians, Tom Rowley on guitar and Renee Wood on tin whistle, to create a
fresh exciting sound in Irish traditional music.

Their repertoire of spirited jigs and hornpipes, driving, go-for-broke reels, and heartbreaking aires, include many rarely heard gems.

Tom and Renee have been playing traditional Irish dance music for years, but with their love of all kinds of music and their experience in the world of jazz and rock and roll, they bring a truly unique set of musical skills to the playing of Irish dance music.

Sometimes traditional, sometimes not, always unique, Emerald Isle's music is rollicking, joyous, sweet, sad, fun, and full of unexpected departures into some delightful and surprising musical territory.

Musical partners in the truest sense of the word, their deep emotional connection to the music and the strength of their friendship brings a special warmth and energy to their playing.

"May you work like you don't need the money
Love like you've never been hurt,
Dance like no one was watching."
