The Dooley Brothers
Hailing from County Laois, a quiet farming community about an hour outside Dublin, the Dooley Brothers are one of Ireland’s true hidden musical gems. Known for their authentic sound and heartfelt performances, the brothers bring a powerful mix of Irish rebel songs, traditional folk music, and crowd pleasing favorites to every stage they play.
The Dooley Brothers first performed in the United States on St. Patrick’s Day, quickly winning over audiences with their energy, musicianship, and genuine Irish spirit. Their return for the AOH St. Patrick’s Day Luncheon marks a special appearance, as they continue to share the music and stories of Ireland with American audiences in an intimate and unforgettable way.
