Shades of Green
Shades of Green is the perfect blend of Traditional irish and Irish Rock. This group has played everywhere, from large outdoor Irish Festivals to fun and friendly bar/restaurants. We are a host band after the Irish parade in Philly each year, so grab a Guinness, do a jig and join us in the revelry! Shades of Green is available as a duo, trio, and quartet depending on the size of the shindig!

Conversations We Never Had
Listen to the band describe their experience creating this new album on a recent episode of “The Bobcast”, on iHeart radio (or web) or on Spotify.
In the summer of 2020, Shades of Green began developing an upcoming album of all-original music, spanning styles from traditional to the modern. Inspiration for the songs came from a book of poetry, Conversations We Never Had, written by Pat and his father.
At this point, the band has recorded demos for nearly all of the dozen album tracks, all recorded –as circumstances required– individually and mixed collaboratively. We hope you enjoy this preview of the upcoming album!
