A dynamic band with great musicianship and energy brings authentic Irish music, with a twist of Tucson, to concert, contradance, and festival stages. Their traditional songs and dance tunes (jigs and reels, hornpipes, etc) flow from driving to tender and back again. Fiddle, mandolin, guitar, bouzouki and bodhran lift the tunes, and surround and support the clean and lively vocals. Known for creating great rapport with audiences, they have a enthusiastic following that is growing every year.
Based in Tucson Arizona, Round the House has also played in New Mexico, Colorado, Texas and California in recent years. Round the House is:

ALERT - BIG SHOW Coming Up!
Get Your Irish Up at the FOX Round the House will be sharing the stage with an absolutely fabulous band from Ireland, the David Munnelly Band. Featured on PBS and NPR - they showcase a driving Mayo-style playing with a bit of the roaring 20's style thrown in (they even travel with a tap dancer). David Munnelly is a button accordion wizard, and the band has a tight spirited sound that you just don't come across that often. Not only that, but their singer, Shauna Mullin is truly one of the most gifted traditional singers we have heard. We are lucky to get them in Tucson, which is why this concert is on a Wednesday - they are off to LA for the weekend. Check out their website at www.davidmunnelly.com

Lively fiddle-driven tune sets… Natural unforced soprano... Commendable...
A great band, presenting traditional Celtic tunes and songs with grace, skill, imagination and a lively heart
A stellar job at focusing on instruments and showing them off, sounds rising, then falling as another takes the center stage. A lot of variety as well as great musicianship and energy. Lovely.
The style in which they perform brings a fresh air to the stage or stereo
The instrumentals are crisp and lively... Claire's voice has a lilting authentic quality...
Open arrangements, superb playing, and great choices of material.
Versatile and sprightly... Exquisite soprano with a gift for chiseled ornaments...
Marvelous quartet... Precise picking and fancy fiddle flourishes... It never fails to force a smile...
Thoughtful and incisive approach demonstrates a deep love for the music... Treatment of songs brings out new highlights and undertones...
Studied and precisely authentic... The playing and singing are no less than astonishing...
