John Whelan

Seven-time All-Ireland accordion champion John Whelan was raised on the fiddle and pipe music of Ireland, as his father Denis was from Ireland’s county Wexford. John is now a staple at many major US Irish festivals and teaching camps, and performs solo as well as with friends such as Brian Conway, Haley Richardson (also now of Riverdance), Dylan Foley, Flynn Cohen, and with roots band Low Lily, plus his John Whelan band. John is celebrating 50 years of playing, so catch him while you can!
