John Whelan ~ Folk/Celtic - Button Accordion
~ an intimate home concert in Anmore
Saturday, May 15 , 2027
Often hailed as one of the world’s best living Irish button accordion players, seven-time All-Ireland champion John Whelan has been praised for his “humor and high energy blend with impeccable musicianship” (The Wall Street Journal). John embodies the dichotomy of being forward-thinking while still deeply rooted in tradition.
As a celebrated recording artist, John has recorded more than 15 CDs, appeared on more than 30 albums with other artists, and spent several weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard World Music Charts. He is celebrated for his duo performances with Grammy Award-winning fiddle player Eileen Ivers, appearing together on stage during the first years of Riverdance, and also for forming the John Whelan Band, which the Cincinnati Enquirer described as playing “music that stretched the boundaries of traditional Celtic.”
John is also a sought-after composer and producer. He has written more than 65 original tunes, many of which have been recorded and performed by artists all over the world. John’s music has been featured on such TV shows as Sex and the City, History’s Mysteries, and History Detectives, and John himself has performed on Late Night With Conan O’Brien and in films including Ronald F. Maxwell’s Gods and Generals (2003) and Ang Lee’s Ride With the Devil (1999).
