GALWAY, IRELAND – Ireland’s brightest acoustic band We Banjo 3 (WB3), celebrates this holiday season with all things “A Winter Wonderful” ––a holiday album release, a December holiday tour (their first live U.S. performances in nearly two years!), and a special holiday livestream event.

Since 2012, We Banjo 3 has toured the U.S. several times a year, building a passionate and loyal following. The Galway, Ireland quartet––comprised of two sets of brothers, Enda & Fergal Scahill and Martin & David Howley––have fine-tuned their knack for seamlessly converging the shared and varied traditions of Americana, Bluegrass, and Celtic music with pop-sensible songcraft to create a truly unique signature sound.

On tour, WB3 continually push musical boundaries while maintaining an unwavering devotion to the essential audience experience. For the upcoming December tour dates, the band hosts festive holiday shows––featuring performances of traditional holiday tunes from both Ireland and from the U.S. (in addition to plenty of the fan-favorite original compositions that have made them such a beloved live band).  The complete list of dates for WB3’s “A Winter Wonderful” tour is included below.  Tickets and info available now at www.webanjo3.com.
