Irish American Songs & Music
Ryan McCombe is one of New York City’s most exciting multi-instrumentalist Celtic musicians on the scene today. Raised in Yonkers, NY, Ryan absorbed Irish and Irish American music through the thriving New York Trad Scene, rising through the ranks as a Champion step dancer. Now a sought-after singer and guitarist on the New York City circuit, Ryan’s debut EP - My Side of the Ocean - is a modern take on classic songs with a guitar and banjo-forward drive, with guest appearances from some of North America’s best trad musicians.
When he’s not playing tunes & singing, Ryan can be found adjudicating dancing or playing music all over North America for the Irish Dance circuit.
