Have guitar, will travel!
That’s the best way to describe
Marty Brandon, the “Son of
Sligo”. Marty’s performed at
Irish and Celtic festivals, pubs,
clubs, wakes, weddings and
parties all over the country....
and shows no sign of slowing
down!
Born and raised in New York,
with Irish roots planted firmly in
County Sligo, Marty cut his
musical teeth on Celtic legends
like the Clancy Brothers,
Tommy Makem, the Irish
Rovers and the Wolfetones.

Rovers and the Wolfetones.
With his beloved guitar at his side, he brings the songs and stories
of Ireland to life.....from tender ballads to roof-raisin’, arse-kickin’
Irish sing-a-longs. Add a wicked sense of humor guaranteed to
charm even the grumpiest leprechaun.....and you’ve got an Irish
party waiting to happen!
Marty’s most recent CD is “Lullabyes and Battlecries”, featuring Irish
standards like “Molly Malone” and “The Black Velvet Band”, mixed
with lesser known songs like “Bare Legged Joe” and “Let The
People Sing”. There’s also some original material (“No, I Never Have
Been” and “A Better Way”) that fit in nicely with a distinct Celtic
flavor.
So pour yourself a pint, sit back and enjoy! After all, ”Marty”
rhymes with “Party”...and that CAN’T just be a coincidence!
