Mighty Kin's tour
Fan Reviews
April 8th 2024
Each member of the band is exceptionally talented in their own right.
The musical selections were so enjoyable.
The “front man” had gentle humour and good rapport with the crowd.
I’ll definitely get out to the Mighty Kin again soon!

About Mighty Kin
Mighty Kin combines the upbeat tempos and rhythms of Celtic folk, with the undulating melody lines of traditional Irish music to inspire their fans and to lift their spirits. Their live shows have been described as, “a Celtic music experience…”
Mighty Kin grew out of jam and busking sessions in Uptown Waterloo, Ontario. After Brian returned with an authentic, hand-made tenor Banjo from an extensive foray in his family’s hometown of Galway, Ireland- he called up Nick (Celtic Guitar) and Claryssa (Fiddle) and asked them to come over to his house to play some music, wanting to share with them the music he had learned in Ireland. “The music was already there- it was already in my heart and soul,” says Brian. In 2018, the three started playing small pub gigs around Waterloo region, settling on the name “Mighty Kin”. “Mighty Kin sums up our approach- together we are mighty…” Brian mused. Later, Brian expanded the group to include a master Bodhran player from Dublin, Dave O’Leary and added a new award-winning fiddle player, Anna Smilek- bringing another dimension to their sound.
Mighty Kin’s dedication to maintaining an authentic and living link to the traditional sounds of Ireland, paired with their unique approach to performing playful, exciting, and complex workings of songs without vocals, have earned them quite a reputation locally, as the premiere must-see Celtic music act in Ontario.
