Episode 58: JigJam

Jamie McKeogh plays guitar and sings lead vocals for the Irish band JigJam. We sat down at the DelFest music festival in Cumberland Maryland where JigJam had played two fiery sets to a legion of newly won-over fans. 

We discuss their recent excellent album Across the Pond, and how their music is a fascinating blend of the traditional Irish music the band grew up playing and the American bluegrass they discovered along the way.  Throw in some excellent songwriting and you have a powerful mix.

We hear about playing in a band with two banjos, the Wild Rover  TikTok incident, and how you can bus tour through Ireland with the band.
