Croghan's Crossing is an Irish band based out of Louisville that plays traditional Irish music with a pinch of bluegrass influence. They love to play upbeat dance numbers or slow down into a beautiful waltz. Every once in a while they throw in a fun drinking song. Some performance highlights include opening for Gaelic Storm at Mercury Ballroom, Kentucky Homefront, and WorldFest.
Great time listening to these talented musicians. Weather was great and made the concert even more enjoyable. Thanks for coming to our town tonight.
We really enjoyed working with Croghan's Crossing and having them play as part of our new Gallery and Studio Grand Opening! It was easy to reach them to make arrangements ahead of time and they were even flexible from my original booking arrangements as we had a change in plans. They arrived on time, played as scheduled and we received many thanks as our audience loved them. They even took the time to visit a little before they had to head back home. We'll look at booking them again for future events. Positive all around. Thank you Croghan's Crossing for helping us have a successful event!
