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
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.
This album has been well received by the critics as well as the music-loving public, with several of the songs receiving radio play. Shades of Green would like to express our deep appreciation for everyone who helped see this project through and who continue to support us on our musical journey.
