The Pilgrims of Deep Run

The Baltimore-based Irish band dedicated to lively and spirited performances sure to make you get up and stomp your feet.

Formed as the 2020 quarantine was beginning to lift, they came together through a shared passion for traditional Irish music, storytelling, and a need for human connection. Inspired by legendary acts such as The Irish Rovers, The New Barleycorn, and The Dubliners, their shows capture the joy, humor, and camaraderie of a true session — music to laugh, dance, sing, and drink to.

Members seamlessly switch between voice, fiddle, mandolin, guitar, banjo, bodhrán, bouzouki, and Irish whistle, keeping arrangements fresh while honoring the roots of the music. Their performances create a shared experience — with call-and-response choruses and foot-stomping rhythms that pull every person in the room into the circle.
