A rare combination of singer, songwriter, storyteller, author and social activist, Tommy Sand’s praise comes from the press and fellow musicians as well as major authors and politicians. Practicing his craft for more than 35 years, Tommy has become an integral part of the Irish folk music revival and a one-of-a-kind North Ireland native, whose music often speaks louder than violence.   
His song-writing, which draws the admiration of Nobel Poet Laureate Seamus Heaney and father of folk music, Pete Seeger, prompts respected US magazine “Sing Out” to regard Sands as “the most powerful songwriter in Ireland, if not the rest of the world.”
The band features Tommy’s children, Moya and Fionan Sands.
