In the spring of 2009, with Patrick¡¯s Head on hiatus, John Byrne began recording new material with producer Andrew Keenan and engineer/ producer Devin Greenwood, resulting in the album After the Wake. During John¡¯s time with Patrick¡¯s Head, the band released five CDs, three of original music and two of Irish folk songs, between 2000 and 2007. The band was roundly praised in the press for its sparkling live shows and innovative sound. With all new material, and a new line-up ¡°The John Byrne Band¡± combines Irish and American folk music to expertly deliver these new songs along with some Patrick¡¯s Head favorites. ¡°A happy alchemy of American country, blues and Irish folk songs - introspective songs of joy, love and heartache, telling of experiences and journeys¡..¡± AmericanaUK
