Michael and Dan play a variety of Irish songs and have performed in many different settings. The band consists of two seasoned musicians trained by the best Irish musicians in Boston and Cleveland with over 60 years combined professional experience. A bass player may be added for an extra fee. Michael and Dan first began playing together in 2006.
The lady was dressed in a t-shirt with leggings and tennis shoes (for a wedding?), but they were very nice people and were fantastic musicians! I would absolutely recommend them.
We had a St. Patrick's Day fund raising event in Hilton Head Island. We asked Michael to play some Irish tunes interspersed with traditional songs. He said he would "read" the group to see what they liked and we couldn't have asked for more. FANTASTIC JOB!! We also asked him to make sure the music wasn't too loud while we were eating dinner and he respected our request. Michael was very easy to work with and responsive both before and during the event. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Seldom Sober. THANK YOU Michael and Colleen!
They are terrific! We had such a great time and everyone loved them.
Seldom Sober came in exactly on time, played fantastic music that was fitting for the atmosphere and event. Song choices were fantastic and beautifully played. I 100% recommend them to anyone looking for some great music! Thank you again!
We wanted to include something to celebrate my English/Irish heritage at our wedding reception last weekend, and Seldom Sober was perfect! Our friends and family loved it, and my little two year old cousin was dancing the whole time. A delightful addition to our special day, we’ve heard nothing but excellent feedback from our guests. Would happily book again!
Response from The Galway Rogues:
Thanks, Rebecca! We loved being a part of your special day and are glad that you and your guests were pleased. Congratulations, and thanks for including us!
Seldom Sober played for my wedding reception and they were amazing!! The experience has been great from before booking to the end of the reception. They went out of their way to make sure everything was how I wanted it, including downloading special songs I wanted played. They're friendly, sounded amazing, and everyone at the wedding loved them. They even took special requests. :) I just hope I get to hear them play again sometime when I can just sit and listen!
Response from The Galway Rogues:
This wedding was one of our favorites. We always try our best to get to know the couple and figure out what they want. These lovely people wanted mostly drinking songs, so we started with that, switched to Scottish songs when we found out that some Scots were in the audience, and then played pop songs so people could do some dancing. We like to get to know the guests and feel part of the celebration. We've done several weddings across three states, from pre-ceremony music to processional and recessional music to cocktail hours to receptions.

Michael and Dan began playing together in sessions around Savannah in 2006 before becoming founding members of the Savannah Ceili Band ((phone number hidden)9). The pair first performed as a duo in 2012 for the opening of Fia Rua Irish Pub in Richmond Hill. They teamed up again in 2023 before becoming a permanent duo in 2024. Throughout the years, Michael and Dan have performed at festivals, theaters, pubs, parties, weddings, and other events throughout the Lowcountry. Along with fiddler Colleen Settle, Michael and Dan opened for The Young Wolfe Tones in 2007.
Michael is a Bostonian who moved to Savannah in 2005. He plays acoustic guitar and is the lead singer and frontman for the band. Michael has been performing Irish music professionally since 1995 and has been mentored by some of the finest Irish folk musicians of the twentieth century, including Robbie O'Connell and the legendary Liam Clancy. Michael is also influenced by a variety of American folk musicians from Pete Seeger to Bill Staines. He has opened for Robbie O'Connell and Aoife Clancy.
We can provide a sound system, but no stage lighting. We generally just need access to a three pronged plug outlet, possibly two.
