The Here & Now

Chris found his musical roots under the tutelage of Martin Dowling, Liz Carroll, Brendan Mulvhill and James Kelly. He has competed in the All-Ireland World Championships three times, and has become a widely respected player and teacher.

Niamh is from Tara, Co. Meath in Ireland. After working as a recording musician in London while getting her masters in Music Therapy, Niamh spent time touring with Riverdance and John Williams, among others. She finally settled in Austin in 2014, and found a musical home with The Here & Now.

Rob is more than just an average bodhran player, he also has a doctorate in Geology, and is the founder of Metloef Irish Drums. He first discovered his love of Irish music when living in Alaska, and couldn’t find a drum, so he decided to learn how to make them. Since then, he has traveled the world, and has settled back in Austin, where he became a founding member of The Here & Now.

And finally, Joseph has an impressive resume on guitar. He has performed with Cormac De Barra, Oisin MacDiarmada, and Liz Carroll, as well as his other musical projects, Flashpoint, and Needlefire.

Consider coming out to support these up-and-coming Irish musicians!
