Young Ireland is a newcomer to the Irish music scene, based in San Luis Obispo, California. First and second generation Irish-Americans with County Mayo, Ireland roots, the father-son duo of Patrick and Michael writes and performs original songs reflecting the spirit of the Irish struggles and traditions in both Ireland and America from the 1600’s to modern day. Their acoustic music is driven by skillfully crafted ballads and delicate harmonies in a richly Irish tradition, and At age fourteen, Michael sings with the heart of an old soul.
