Pladdohg
is a musically diverse group, with roots in rock and roll, jazz, blues,
and classical music. Each musician brings experience in a different
genre of music, infusing Pladdohg's Celtic sound with his or her own
flavor. Collectively, the musical styles blend beautifully to create
a high-energy sound that is uniquely Pladdohg. With each new song, there
is an evolution in the Pladdohg sound. It's this ebb and flow of styles
that continues to define the band's music.
