Old country. Fresh sound.

Driving rhythms and contemporary Celtic sound will take the stage as Dallahan launches its first United States tour in more than a decade with a performance at the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Thursday, Jan. 8.

Formed by musicians from Scotland, Ireland and England, Dallahan is known internationally for its bold approach to traditional Celtic music, blending virtuosic musicianship with modern global influences. The band features Jack Badcock on fiddle and vocals, Ciarán Ryan on Irish bouzouki and tenor banjo and Andrew Waite on accordion.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Dallahan back to the United States and especially excited that Lincoln City is the first stop on their tour,” said Jason Corso, programs director at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. “Our community is going to love the energy they bring to the stage.”

Dallahan has toured extensively throughout Europe, earning a reputation for performances that balance fiery dance tunes with expressive, song-driven moments. Their concerts are known for technical brilliance and an immersive, joyful atmosphere.
