Artist Info: Seamus Egan

The artist name is Séamus Egan.

Egan was born in Hatboro, Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia, in 1969. His parents returned to Foxford, Co. Mayo five years later and it was here that Seamus - on hearing Matt Molloy - became interested in traditional music. Martin Donoghue from Ballindine was his teacher during those formative years. On returning to America he was fortunate to meet Mick Moloney, the folklorist and banjo player. Mick acted as a mentor, guiding Seamus in both style and repertoire. [read more...]
