Overview
New Leaf is Kira Jewett on fiddle, Jacob Hagelberg on accordion, and Jim Bunting on guitar, vocals and bouzouki. Together they are a high-energy, technically accomplished trio with ties to some of the greats of the Irish tradition. They get little kids dancing to jigs and reels and their parents ordering another beer for a sing-a-long. They've been called “Pure Drop” by the late great Boston concert promoter Brian O’Donovan and were highly acclaimed guests at the Fleadh Nua traditional music festival in Ennis, Co. Clare, Ireland in 2023. New Leaf regularly plays weddings (ceremony, cocktail hour or both), private parties, festivals and events, and concert series.

Hired New Leaf for a St- Patrick's-themed birthday party at a restaurant. They were perfect - a combination of fun, toe-tapping Irish music while not so loud that we could not hold conversations. I explained to them that we needed to be respectful of other patrons in the restaurant (a Mexican restaurant!), and they were. The manager really enjoyed having them there and told me a couple of times that they could play louder (I had told them to leave the amp in the car), but we thought it was a perfect balance for our party. They were also responsive to my messages, and easy and pleasant to plan and work with. I would absolutely hire them again, and would highly reommend them.
