The Irish Lassies
Приєднався 2 чер 2022
The Irish Lassies are a 6-piece American Celtic folk band native to the green hills of New York's Finger Lakes region.
The band's core came together at St. Patrick's Day in 2010 as a group of childhood friends gathered to sing Celtic music and tell stories of the Irish from Ireland to the Americas.
More "Lassies" joined the band over the years -- as to the band's name, that's a mystery for you and the Ghosts of Guinness Past to unravel. The Irish Lassies together play a variety of instruments including mandolin, tenor banjo, bazuki, concertina, violin, rhythm guitar and bass that accompany the vocals.
The Irish Lassies' unique style focuses four-part harmonies into powerful ballads and soulful songs that will move your spirits, and invite you to raise a glass, rouse you to dance, and sing along with a set list that takes you on a journey from Ireland to America.

I am from Germany. Love the Irish, wonderful music, wonderful People and Country
@@lp8005 Germany is a wonderful country with a rich history and friendly people. Thank you for listening. On Saturday, we’ll be releasing a three-part dance polka titled "The Fish Are Biting on Canandaigua Lake." It’s something that both of our cultures can enjoy.
❤
Are these photo’s of Canandaigua men who went to war?
@@Jeannie-m6w hello, Photos are all soldiers of the NY 85th regiment which was recruited out of Western New York. The song was written using the journals of two soldiers from Canandaigua.
What a great new song! It’s good to hear this important and not frequently talked about part of the Civil War brought into the spotlight a bit
@@ItzJustHistory1916 Thank you for listening! More songs coming soon!
Very different! Loved your song Hammer Down Whiskey Up and your version of Star of the County Down too, and love this also!!!
@@SteveZerker Hey Steve! We decided to change things up a bit for 'Whiskey in the Jar'. I'm glad you enjoyed it! 'Hammer Up, Whiskey Down' is one of our originals, so I'm really happy to hear you loved that one. We've got several songs currently being mixed and mastered, so stay tuned for more!
@@theirishlassies7160 Wow, Hammer Down Whiskey Up really reminded me of an old railway song so that's an awesome original, would love to see more in that style whatever the subject! Love your music!
Powerful lyrics! Great tune!
@@Jeannie-m6w thank you for listening. My 4th grade grandfather was James Carson, and my family still has his Andersonville war memoirs. Many of the lyrics are direct quotes.
Had this on a 33rpm back in the 1960's.
It's a great old tune!
❤❤❤RESPECT FROM SCORLAND C X🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks, Caz! Where in Scotland are you from?
lovely rendition gonna add it to my spotify list!
Thank you so much! Where are you from?
@@theirishlassies7160 I’m from the Netherlands but my granddad is Scottish/Irish 🏴❤️🇮🇪
@@Manticrow707 Do people like traditional Celtic music in the Netherlands? About a third of our streams are coming from the Netherlands.
Thanks for uploading i couldn't find it in a drunken stupor.
Glad you sobered up enough to find it! Thank you for listening!
pretty good song
pretty good? it's fucking amazing
@@Manticrow707 not wrong at all lol
@@Manticrow707 😂😂😂😂
Andersonville was only meant to be temporary accomodations for people who were waiting on prisoner exchanges. Wirz was an innocent man in a bad situation and can't be blamed for shortages or the breakdown of prisoner exchanges.
I agree to a point. Wirz was put in an impossible situation at the end of the war. He couldn’t even keep his own men fed, let alone the prisoners. I wouldn’t say he was completely innocent though, because it’s well documented that he used inhumane practices like throwing people into stocks and cutting food supplies to the entire prison due to the bad behavior of individuals. He only had a captains commission during his time overseeing Andersonville, so he had no real authority to change anything. There are many letters where he complains about this. Although he shares some of the blame, he was hung as a scapegoat. Keep in mind that this song was written with the memoirs of people who saw hundreds of their friends die of starvation. You can’t really blame them for looking at it through Yankee eyes.
This is really catchy!
Glad you like it:) the crowd seems like this one. We have a bunch more original songs coming soon. Keep an eye out for them!
Great version of this beautiful song ! Greetings from France !
Bonjour! I think that’s how you spell it:) Thank you so much for listening!
very cool
We folk musicians are called A lot of things, cool is not usually one of them. lol. Thanks for listening. We have a new song come out every month so keep an eye out for early July. :)
Good Buff Irish Workers building a Track for the Trains
May all the Poor 13,000 Irish Volunteers of the NY 85th Regiment Rest n Peace... God Bless on your Souls. Ireland and Australia. Friends Forever
Amen. Thank you for listening
As others have said, awesome work! I'm a blues rock bass player, and while it's fulfilling, songs like these scratch an itch no amount of blues ever could. You say more songs are coming, and I'll be there waiting! Damn well done! ✌🏻
I’m a blues player myself. Once Covid started I put the Gibson Less Paul under the bed and started practicing Mandolin and banjo to switch things up. Now I’m a bona fide folk musician! Thank you for your kind words about the song:) -Caleb
Great music good job guys
Thank you for listening:$ We have more songs coming down the pipe. We are planning on releasing one every month.
Lovely music!
Thank you!
“Genocide” is not a verb.
What's that song called
This reel is called The Happy Immigrant. It will be released latter this year on our Immigration stories album. Thank you for listening!
I’m sitting here wondering why I hadn’t seen this video…. It’s 4 days old…. Lmao I love it.
You are one of the first to hear it! I'm happy you found it:)
@@theirishlassies7160 been listening off and on all day. It’s a beautiful song and really pulls at my soul. Being an Irish American with around 10 different relatives on record that I know of serving on both sides of this war and roots dating back to early colonial America due to my relations with the Lee’s from England this song really hits. Thank you for this gem. (Both Richard Henry Lee and Robert E Lee for those who’d like to know. But I’m more related to Richard Henry than Robert E who is his 2nd cousin or so)
@@Southpaw658 James Carson, who I used as the source for the song was my fourth great grandfather. His memoirs are still in the family thanks to my mother who copy them as a project back in middle school. It’s amazing how we can still feel an emotional attachment to an ancestor after 150 years. I hope this song helps connect you to your ancestors:)
@@theirishlassies7160 it really does help and that is really wicked context. Bless you and your family for their contributions. I appreciate this greatly.
Love it
Glad you like it. Thank you for listening!
Very nice. Shame on Shelby Foote for blaming the prisoners for the degradation at Andersonville. Shame on Ken Byrnes for not disclosing Foote's terrible words.
Thanks for giving voice to the words of the survivors
It’s a passion of mine, finding these old stories and retelling them. Thanks, Dan!
What a great song! The Lassies never cease to amaze!
Wow. I'm definitely going yo check it out.

Hell yeah, normally I only find really good niche Irish trad bands like a decade after they stop making music, words cannot begin to describe how excited I am to see what y'all are gonna cook up!
Thank you for the kind words:) We have two full albums in the mixing and mastering phase right now. Planning on dropping 4 new songs within the next month. keep an out for them and be sure to let us know what you think!
Cub it’s better than I thought. Henry must have magic because it looks like the violin just changes when it goes from person to person
