About us...
Hailing from beautiful Tucson Arizona, The Out of Kilters play lively and heartwarming Irish music like it's St. Patrick's Day all year long! Running the gamut from time-honored classics to their own original songs steeped in the Irish tradition, the band's lineup includes a collection of talented musicians, singers and songwriters from across the US and Ireland. These include talented multi-instrumentalists and vocalists from both sides of the pond including...
- Founding member Russ Healy on accordion, pennywhistle and harmonica.
- Tom Feild (also a founding member) on guitar, mandolin and pennywhistle.
- Irish-born Peter Rodgers on fiddle and guitar.
- Katie Dunlavy, also a founding member of the Wild Swans, on the bodhrán or Irish frame drum.
- Scott Rettedal on banjo, mandolin, or whatever the situation calls for!
Friends and past members of the band Jim and Reuben Vinal also join us on occasion and can be heard on our various albums. In true Irish folk style everyone joins in on choruses for a sound that is both full-bodied and spirited.
