Characterized by high energy and strong vocal harmonies, The 19th Street Band creates a flavor of Americana, country and rock ‘n’ roll. They ignite an audience with their passion for music, their magnetic presence and enthusiasm. Bridging the musical roots from Ireland to the Appalachian, their eclectic gypsy-rock spirit literally leaps from the stage and engages the crowd in the music. They are addictive.

The 19th Street Band’s newest album, Diamond in the Rough, is currently receiving air play on a hundred different radio stations throughout the UK, including BBC Radio. It was recently chosen as ‘Album of the Month’ on West Norfolk Radio and has been featured on radio programs in Ireland, Canada, Europe and the US. The band does an annual tour of Ireland where they have performed live on BBC Radio Ulster. Diamond in the Rough has received raving reviews from all the leading music magazines throughout the UK and Ireland, which are available to browse from the band’s webpage (www.19thstreetband.com/reviews) in addition to magazines in Canada and Western Europe. Stateside, the album and the band have been chosen as a Finalists for the Washington DC Area Music Awards (aka The Wammies) and are currently awaiting results at the end of March 2021. One track from the album, “Nothing To Do (All Day To Do It)”, was featured in the Jan/Feb 2021 issue of Relix Magazine’s Artist Sampler Playlist.

Diamond in the Rough was self-released in 2020 and includes three songs that were co-written by the late, great Philip Donnelly and John Prine. Donnelly invited the band to record these songs with him at a studio in Tipperary, Ireland where he produced the tracks and performed as a guest musician on the album.
