Although still in their teens, Haley Richardson (fiddle/vocals), Keegan Loesel (uilleann pipes/whistles/vocals) and Dylan Richardson (guitar/bouzouki/banjo) have been turning heads in the traditional Irish music community for several years. Haley is a two-time All-Ireland fiddle champion and the 2015 Fiddler of Dooney, Keegan has been a Mid-Atlantic champion nine times and Dylan has also been a Mid-Atlantic medalist. Haley has performed with many well-known names in Irish music today including The Chieftains, Altan, Dervish, Pride of New York, and is a regular member of The John Whelan Band.
