The Irish Brothers are Sandy “Sandyman” Flynn and “Captain” George Hergen. It's a unique team - Sandyman comes from the mountains of Western North Carolina with the Captain hailing from the canyons of New York City.  The two started performing together thirty-five years ago when they worked ‘suit’ jobs at IBM. Both draw from their Irish heritage for material, from traditional Irishballads, to original songs of love, drinking, revolution and redemption. Their music practically maps the Irish cultural integration into the “new country.”

We're a cover band. If it wasn't fun, we'd do something else.Vocals, guitars, violin, mandolin, harmonica, small doses of banjo. But not boring acoustic pretentiousness. Think Godzilla stops scaring helpless people on subway trains and channels his feelings into playing the mandolin and singing REM songs. Yes, think that.
