Dads & Lads ! Ireland, America, Quebec, Sweden

Two Fathers, Two Sons, One Unforgettable Musical Feast !

With their debut album Family Stew, the four musicians of Dads & Lads invite you to the table for a heartfelt celebration of music. Together, they serve up a rich mix of beloved tunes, carefully crafted and simmered in the warmth of family. From the rolling hills of Ireland to the open spaces of America, from Sweden’s serene lakes to the St. Lawrence River in Quebec, traditional and folk music tell a universal story — one of heritage, of passing on, of sharing melodies hand to hand, heart to heart. That’s why the Crommens and the Fahys come together, fathers and sons, in a quartet that’s intimate, intergenerational, and full of life.
Because, at its core, it all started at home.
Their journey is a tapestry of influences, friendships, and family ties, giving rise to a repertoire that instantly feels like home. Violins, mandolin, guitar, and harmonica blend to bring both timeless classics and fresh compositions to life. Each tune is reimagined, sprinkled with improvisation here, original touches there — a sound rooted in tradition but alive in the present. This is family folk music at its most vibrant and genuine.
So, say goodbye to rainy Sundays spent playing in the kitchen – Thierry, Kieran, Téo, and Lorcan are taking the stage to share their favorite tunes from yesterday and today. Pull up a chair, feel the warmth, and enjoy a musical feast where everyone is welcome at the table.
