“A singer capable of joining the ranks of the great Irish vocalists”
Folk World
Welcome! My name is Aodán Coyne and I’m here to share my passion for music, particularly in the realm of DADGAD guitar tuning and Irish traditional music. Whether you’re a beginner just starting your musical journey or an experienced player looking to expand your repertoire, this site is designed to provide you with valuable resources and insights.
As a musician, I’ve had the privilege of touring and performing with renowned groups like ‘Socks in the Frying Pan‘. Highlights include performing at The New Orleans Jazz Fest, headlining the Milwaukee Irish Festival (The largest Irish music festival in the World) playing the Edmonton Folk Fest, Celtic Colours (Canada), Celtic Connections (UK) and of course singing with Jerry Springer on the ‘The Jerry Springer Podcast’.
This experience has shaped my understanding of the intricacies of Irish music and allowed me to explore the intersection of traditional rhythms with contemporary folk tones. I’ve also ventured into the realm of singer-songwriting, creating my own original songs that blend “introspective lyrics with captivating DADGAD and modern Irish melodies.”
