Roundstone Buskers
The Roundstone Buskers is “not another meat and potatoes Irish band". While they play traditional Celtic and folk music, it
is not of the ordinary fare. Their selection of songs and tunes are unique and
carefully selected. There is an uplifting spirit and drive to the music where
the old world and the new world manage to meet as the Buskers weave
elements of both worlds in their own arrangements of songs and tunes.
Based in the Midwest, The
Roundstone Buskers formed in March of 2002.
The
Roundstone Buskers are:
Tom Grafton-guitar, hammered dulcimer and
vocals
Tom Jones-bodhràn, harmonica, whistles,
dumbek, madal drum and other assorted percussion and vocals
Shannan Sullivan-violin/fiddle and vocals
"...To watch this group perform is to
feel as if you are invited to a party in which you are the guest of honor.
There is a true genuine relationship with the audience that is infectious if not
downright refreshing….”
