Dulahan (Doo-la-hon) is an anomaly in Celtic music, displaying an unwavering commitment to the strength and message of their original Celtic music. They pay homage to the traditional music that their signature sound has evolved from but are proud to bring their fresh new music to the Celtic music scene.

The compositions of veteran singer-songwriter Kyle Aughe dominate the bands repertoire and are delivered with a passion and energy that fuses the multiple influences each of the 5 members brings to the table. The results are an exciting hybrid that is unmistakably rooted in the traditional Irish and Scottish sounds. This unique cross-pollination allows Dulahan to connect with fans of the traditional and the contemporary and draws new fans to Celtic music wherever their music is heard.

Dulahan’s music spans a variety of emotions from evocative songs of life, love and liberty to more lighthearted themes of mythical sea creatures, a first kiss or the occasional overindulgence at the local pub.

Featuring powerful 3 and 4 part vocal harmonies (all 5 members are singers) and a backing of predominantly traditional Celtic instrumentation, the band has continued to evolve and stretch the limits of its sound while maintaining its roots.  Band founder Kyle Aughe and longtime member Mark Sandlin handle the acoustic stringed instruments  (guitar, bouzouki, banjo, mandolin) with Dulahan veteran Leo Butler on whistles, flutes and pipes. In recent years Leo added the Electronic Tech Pipes, which allowed the band to incorporate more of the Scottish Highland and Border Pipe feel into their sound.

In 2009 Dulahan began to experiment with expanded percussion   and in  late 2010 percussionist Bart Cason came on board full time. His tasteful hand percussion work on Dulahan’s music added a subtle nuance to the ballads and mid tempo songs and a driving pulse to the up-tempo numbers.

The newest member of Dulahan, Tony Williams (piano and tenor vocals), joined the band in December 2010 and continues the evolution of the Dulahan sound. An experienced tenor harmony singer, Tony only furthers the Dulahan tradition of tight multi-part vocal arrangements. With his piano adding key textures, it brings an exciting, distinctive contemporary Cape Breton, Nova Scotian feel to the Dulahan sound.

While their original music remains the core of the Dulahan sound, the band loves to mix in classic pub favorites, sea shanties, ballads and rousing rebel songs.

Dulahan is ...

'The Dulahan' is the headless horseman of Celtic folklore, who carries his head under his arm as he rides through the night on his black stallion, spreading fear across the countryside.

'The Dulahan' will be a feature character in the new book being penned by John Ferguson, the band leader of the excellent northeast Ohio pub band "Fergie and the Bog Dogs."  Be sure to check out their site and we'll keep an eye out for the book's release!
