Rig The Jig

One of the leading lights in Irish folk music.

About Me


Rig the Jig are six musicians who met through mutual friends and their love of music. Over the last four years, Rig the Jig have evolved into one of the leading lights in Irish traditional / folk music."When Rig the Jig let fly, a spirit of connection exists between Irish traditional music and contemporary American material, which is both fresh and invigorating as well as sounding completely natural and unforced." John O'Regan Folk Roots"Rig The Jig is one of the most enjoyable Irish bands I've heard in a long time." The Daily VaultI edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
