Their enthusiastic renditions of so many great Irish Pub favorites makes them a must see, good time, CRAIC IN YOUR FACE act!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any Irish/Celtic event.
Bill "Liam" Lynch, Live Entertainment Director, Irish on Ionia
bio - long version
The Leprecons, a fierce four-piece Irish band from Grand Rapids, MI with a passion for singing and enjoying a nice frothy pint, are continuing to make appearances in and across Michigan. Their innovative and individual style of entertainment has grown to be a favorite among those that love the craic, laughter and good times.
​
There are few like the Leprecons. An almost-Irish band committed to playing and promoting Irish pub songs that set your toes a-tapping and your pint glasses a-swaying! Even if you're one of those who say you don’t know or don’t love Irish music & fun (like we do), you're certainly encouraged to sing along. Whether you know the words or not.
​
Founded in 2016, they've performed at a variety venues, parties and festivals such as Irish on Ionia, Sparta and Saline Celtic Festivals, and the Lowell Harvest Festival. They’ve also entertained at many a pub and party in Grand Rapids, Caledonia, Wayland, Lansing, and Muskegon.
​
The Leprecons continue to expand their presence with their unabashed pub-crawl sound and will continue to do so if there be a pub filled with lads, lasses and glasses. Sláinte!
