Harmony Glen is a Dutch feelgood-folk group founded in 2005. The music is based on Irish-Celtic folk but regularly sounds from all over the world get woven in. The goal of the band is to stand out not only through their music (which is a mix of traditional and original songs and tunes) but through their stage presence as well.

Harmony Glen's shows have been described as “a powerhouse of Folk” and people who attend can't seem to stand still as the energy is always on a maximal level.

Since 2013 the band has toured in Europe and North America, amongst others: Denmark (Skagen Festival), Germany (Balver Höhle, MPS, Bremen Maritim, Wernigerode, Brüggen), Azores (Maia Folk Festival), United Kingdom, Belgium (Labadoux) and Ireland, where they have participated in the Fleadh Cheoil (world championship for traditional Irish music) as the first band ever from Holland to make it into the world finals. The latest album ‘Live in Bremen’ was just released in summer 2016 and already plannes are being made for the recording of a brand new studio album!
