We Banjo 3 is a band from Galway, Ireland that plays a blend of traditional Irish, old time, and bluegrass music they call Celt Grass. The band is composed of two sets of brothers, Enda and Fergal Scahill and Martin and David Howley, and frequent substitute Garry O'Meara. Earle Hitchner, music writer for ''The Wall Street Journal'', described their playing as a “freshness and finesse bordering on the magical.” 〔http://www.musicnetwork.ie/events/details/we_banjo_3_international_concerts/〕 Their debut album ''Roots of the Banjo Tree'' was released in 2012 and was named “Traditional Music Album of the Year” by ''The Irish Times''.〔http://lacrossetribune.com/entertainment/we-banjo-to-perform-three-times-during-irishfest/article_e7d279de-fb8a-11e2-b7b9-0019bb2963f4.html We Banjo 3 to perform three times during Irishfest〕 This was followed by the release of ''Gather the Good'' in 2014.
