Musikfest Magic! We've learned that all 5 members of Gadan will be joining us today at Godfrey Daniels during their time here for the festival.
Gadan is Irish music with American flavor and Italian seasoning - a storming new band blending the drive of Irish trad and bluegrass with the soul of folk and Appalachian music… spiced with Italian flair! Featuring young yet seasoned Italian musicians, they joined forces in 2024 with Enda Scahill, tenor banjo legend and founder of We Banjo 3, and now featuring Eric Long from the US.
With no less than three outrageous, unlawful, and audacious banjos – plus fiddle, mandolin, and guitar – Gadan delivers a powerful “strings-only” sound, enhanced by a driving rhythmic pulse. Their high energy performance and audience engagement prove you don’t need drums to groove!
The band is made up of:
- Jacopo Ventura - acoustic guitar, percussion
- Lorenzo Testa - mandolin, tenor banjo
- Enda Scahill - tenor banjo
- Eric Long - clawhammer banjo, vocals
- Joan Gatti - fiddle
