Corktown Ramblers
The Corktown Ramblers, led by brothers Seán and Michael Gavin, are an Irish-American folk band inspired by Detroit’s historic Corktown. Blending Irish, Scottish, and North American traditions, their sound features uilleann pipes, harp, fiddle, banjo, and more.
Joined by harpist Siobhan McKinney, fiddler-singer Hannah Harris, and guitarist Alberto Whitmer, they bring centuries of tradition to life through performances that celebrate the Irish-American immigrant story.
