With foot-stomping energy and rich East Coast tradition, The
Irish Descendants helped launch Newfoundland’s folk music onto the national
stage in the early 1990s. Sharing the spotlight with icons like Great Big Sea,
they brought timeless tunes to life with their signature Irish flair, winning
over audiences coast to coast.
Beloved for their authenticity, spirit, and unforgettable live performances, the band became a household name—so much so that they were chosen as the official band for Newfoundland and Labrador’s 500th-anniversary celebrations, performing in honour of Her Majesty the Queen. That moment marked a turning point, cementing their legacy as cultural ambassadors and fan favourites.
Celebrate the season with The Irish Descendants as they fill the stage with holiday cheer, timeless tunes, and the heartfelt charm of a Newfoundland Christmas.
