Traditional Irish music from two young up and coming musicians. One American, one Irish.

This channel was originally set up to showcase the duo playing of Zac Leger (U.S.) and Stephen Doherty (Ireland). Along the way it has become almost an online journal of our musical lives, and videos of our playing, both solo, and with some of our favorite musicians. We continually update and there is much more to come, so keep watching!

Stephen Doherty comes from Foxford, Co. Mayo, in Ireland and has grown up steeped in the musical tradition. A multi-instrumentalist, he plays flute, whistles, button accordion, melodion (on which he has an All-Ireland gold medal), concertina, bodhran, drums, guitar and mandola. He is currently a member of Grada and travels all over Europe, the U.S. and beyond performing traditional music. http://www.myspace.com/step...

Zac Leger is one of the few Americans to have an All-Ireland piping medal. He also plays whistles, flute, guitars, bouzouki, banjo, mandolin, bodhran, accordion, Northumbrian smallpipes and various other odds and ends. He has played most recently with Eileen Ivers and Immigrant Soul as well as a host of other talented bands and performers. He currently lives in Los Angeles, CA, where he is a free-lance musician and teacher. More info and music @ http://www.myspace.com/zacl...
