Gadan is a storming new band blending the drive of Irish trad and bluegrass with the soul of folk and Appalachian music… spiced with Italian flair! Featuring young yet seasoned Italian musicians from the Irish trad and European folk scene, they joined forces in 2024 with Enda Scahill, tenor banjo legend and founder of We Banjo 3.

With no less than three outrageous, unlawful, and audacious banjos – plus fiddle, mandolin, and guitar – Gadan delivers a powerful “strings-only” sound, enhanced by a driving rhythmic pulse. Their high energy performance and audience engagement prove you don’t need drums to groove!
