Get ready to be swept off your feet by The Dirty Wellies—a powerhouse of traditional Irish music hailing from the heart of Chicago! Founded in 2012, the band began as The Murphy Girls, a trio of County Mayo natives: Regina Coyle, Maggie O'Callaghan, and Bernie Medina. Their musical journey took an exciting turn when they welcomed the talent of Kevin Branigan and rebranded as The Dirty Wellies.
Over the years, the ensemble has evolved with the incredible additions of Jim Aman, Vince O'Callaghan, Jim Galecki, and Rían Norris. Together, they create a dynamic tapestry of sound that blends the timeless beauty of traditional Irish music with modern twists and melodies along with many Wellie originals.
From rollicking festivals to intimate concerts and cherished private performances, The Dirty Wellies' passionate devotion to trad has carried their music far and wide. Get ready to stomp your feet and sway to the infectious rhythms of a band whose heart and soul resonate with every tune they play! 🍀🎶
