We are On The Lash
In honor of Irish traditional music, On The Lash creates timeless sounds through original voices. With new takes on classic songs and original constructions of established standards, OTL aims to explore the inherent energy and versatility of the genre.
“This band is talented! Amazing vocal harmonies, pin-point musicianship and a diverse set list that had broad appeal to the music enthusiast and the walk-in crowd alike. ‘Mesmerizing’ is a fair characterization of their show.”
— Rick Russel, Owner, The Englewood, Hershey, PA
“I’m glad we were able to have these four amazing musicians play at our little pub…. They bring a unique style of Traditional Celtic music to their audience that’s very refreshing to hear (there’s only so much of Finnegan’s Wake and The Rocky Road to Dublin anyone can take in a year)…. I know from talking with the band that they were tired, but you would have never noticed from their demeanor, witty banter, and amazing quality of musicianship. The talent and graciousness of this group is not something you see often…. Don’t pass up a show with On The Lash! It’s a great opportunity to see a quality live show that won’t leave your memory for years to come.”
— Joshua Gulas, Entertainment Coordinator, Garryowen Irish Pub, Gettysburg, PA
Our debut EP, Fireside, is finally here!
Every tune on the album is an adaptation from a band, writer, or player who has, in some way or another, shaped our musical direction and development. Naturally, most of this music is derived from the traditional Irish heritage, which has been our primary aim and influence. However, much like the diversity of our musical backgrounds, we haven't been afraid to branch out into a variety of world styles. Throughout the process of arranging, performing, and refining these tunes, we've sought to maintain the integrity of the music we so highly respect, while at the same time allowing it to be molded by our unique experiences into a work never seen before.
We're now ready to share with the world the fruits of our labor in making this album, painting a beautiful picture of where we've been individually, where the band has taken us together, and offering a sneak peak to where the music promises to take us moving forward.
