Artist description
ˇ ˇ ˇ The United 32s are a trad Irish ensemble that push the trad Irish envelope so hard their arms hurt. We're not trying to fool anybody ... most of the United 32s are also in the Devil's Advocates -- you would've figured it out sooner than later, and we just wanted to come clean: Diane George and Scott M.X. Turner are joined by Floor, everyone's fave Belgian/South African fiddler, and Mighty Mark Westin, whose banjo/acoustic guitar/mandolin work is second to none ... NONE! The U32s, who hate that their nickname is reminiscent of U2 (because U2 ... christ, where to start?!), play benefits for Irish causes and are working on a residency at a small Manhattan Irish pub that within a year, will be the weekly haunts of fashion models and disgraced politicians. Meshing trad Irish with bluegrass, eastern European, and Jamaican ska, the United 32s will bug staunch traditionalists while they get you dancing. ˇ ˇ ˇ ˇ ˇ ˇ ˇ ˇ ˇ ˇ ˇ ˇ ˇ ˇ ˇ ˇ ˇ ˇ ˇ ˇ ˇ ˇ ˇ ˇ ˇ ˇ
