Sean Diehl and Noah Kelly are a duo based in the Boston area rooted in the Irish dance music tradition. Their music heavily draws on the musical traditions of East County Clare, Donegal and Sliabh Luchra and Scotland. 

Sean Diehl is a multi-instrumentalist currently based in Boston, MA. After enjoying much success as a classical violinist, Sean began his exploration in traditional music while living in Montreal, Canada. It was there in which he developed his knowledge of repertoire and style in Irish, Scottish and Cape Breton music traditions. He has recently become a staple to the Boston scene and can be found regularly playing sessions around Boston, Cambridge and Somerville to name a few. Sean is also a skilled guitarist and singer. 

Noah Kelly is a multi-instrumentalist currently based in Boston, MA. Though Noah spent most of his childhood and adolescent life training as a classical violinist, he was exposed to Irish music as a young child and began his exploration of traditional music. In 2022, Noah went on to attend the Irish World Academy of University of Limerick for his Master of Arts in Irish Traditional Music Performance in Limerick, Ireland graduating with First Class Honors. Since completing his degree, Noah has been back in Boston enjoying his work as a full-time musician and can be found playing sessions and performances around Boston and beyond.
