Known for their captivating sound and engaging stage presence, Burning Bridget Cleary is currently one of the hottest young acts

on the Celtic and folk music circuits and favorites at our last Summer Solstice Festival! Burning Bridget Cleary has earned a reputation for presenting high-spirited Celtic music at festivals, concerts, and music series all over the eastern half of the U.S., including a 2011 tour to Ireland. While in Ireland, the band had a unique opportunity to visit the rural County Tipperary cottage of their namesake, Bridget Cleary, who is remembered as “the last witch burned in Ireland.” The band broke new ground in 2013 when their fourth CD, “Pressed for Time,” hit #1 on the Roots Music Folk and Roots Charts, and finished the year as one of the Folk DJ’s most played albums. In 2013, Burning Bridget Cleary was nominated “Top Traditional Band in a Pub, Festival or Concert Setting” by the Irish Music Association. Jack Baker of The Irish American News calls them “One of the most exciting bands I’ve seen in the last couple of years!”
