Fawn Ewes are a band hailing from Belfast blending blues, country, folk, and terrible on-stage craic and in-jokes to offer a refreshing, tongue-in-cheek perspective on Americana twinged roots music. Brought together by their mutual need to make money to afford food and shelter, the 5 members met through their work as bartenders in The American Bar, Sailortown.
Members Paddy Godfrey, Joel Harkin, Neil Óg Martin, Turlough McDonald and Niall Carson cover many bases - from old school honky tonk, reverb drenched indie folk, irish traditional cello, outlaw country, and screaming blues. The unique blend of cello, pedal steel, harmonica, guitar, vocal harmonies and double bass offers a new perspective on classic songs and a refreshing yet familiar approach to original songwriting and arrangement. The band routinely rotate instruments and lead vocal duties with each member bringing their own style and ability, to offer a diverse and entertaining live show.
“So we have to work the bar when they’re gigging? What a nightmare.” Tomás Gorman, The American Bar.
