GREEN MAN combines Irish/Scottish melodies with Eastern rhythms. The result is a fresh, modern musical approach that extends beyond traditional Celtic music. This debut 13-song CD contains original compositions and contemporary arrangements of traditional tunes and sets played using both electric and acoustic instruments . . . plus a few surprises.

Members of GREEN MAN have shared the stage with such groups as Battlefield Band, The Chieftains, Gaelic Storm, Arlo Guthrie, Todd Rundgren, and The Young Dubliners.

I like (it) very much. It's a very interesting approach... much more authentic than Riverdance music, it (has) a much nicer edge to it. - Joe Boyd, Producer (Pink Floyd, REM, 10,000 Maniacs)

Green Man is a band of solid musicianship that electrifies...their willingness to experiment is refreshing." - Dave Soyars, Irish Herald (San Francisco)
