Chris Meehan and his Redneck Friends

A fabulous and popular 10-piece Cajun Blues Country lead by Mohill born Chris Meehan band bringing their talent back to Leitrim broadening what is understood by Irish Country Music.

The band’s mission statement is to celebrate country music as a term which encompasses a wide variety of music including some genres not readily regarded as being such.  In his review of their record “Dancing in the Kitchen” which appeared in the Irish Times, Joe Breen said “Chris Meehan and his crew skilfully negotiate country waltzes, western swing, Cajun craic, jump blues, jazz standards coloured by a dizzying array of sharp solos”. He could have added “while still finding time to do country classics from the songbooks of Tom T. Hall and the Hanks (Williams and Snow)”

We would like to acknowledge the assistance of Leitrim County Council and the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media in putting on this Leitrim Live Performance event.
