Irish American Songs & Music
Ryan McCombe is one of New York City’s most exciting multi-instrumentalist Celtic musicians on the scene today. Raised in Yonkers, NY, Ryan absorbed Irish and Irish American music through the thriving New York Trad Scene, rising through the ranks as a Champion step dancer. Now a sought-after singer and guitarist on the New York City circuit, Ryan’s debut EP - My Side of the Ocean - is a modern take on classic songs with a guitar and banjo-forward drive, with guest appearances from some of North America’s best trad musicians.
When he’s not playing tunes & singing, Ryan can be found adjudicating dancing or playing music all over North America for the Irish Dance circuit.
New album launches Friday May 30th on all platforms!
“Something for every listener Irish or not! From new fresh versions of old standards to a drive of harmonies and passion rivaling the High Kings!”
- Frank McCormick, Celtic Cross/The Amadans
“An absolute blast—fun, energetic, and full of lively Irish spirit with an American twist. It’s good vibes all the way through with the feel of a late-night jam in a packed pub.”
- Charlie Galloway, Talisk
