Across the Pond is a multi-instrumental four-piece band performing their own high-energy arrangements of Irish, Scottish and Appalachian tunes and songs.   While very passionate about their traditional roots, their arrangements contain modern influences. This high-energy band, featuring Mike Morrison, Dan Diviney, Molly Shortridge and Lavinia Reid, has been sharing their take of traditional and contemporary Irish folk music throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, and into the Northeast, Southeast, and into Quebec and Ontario provinces in Canada for years. They've developed their own unique style many years ago and have never looked back.

Shortly after the release of their first CD, ‘Kid on the Mountain’ in October 2014, they were named in the Top 20 Celtic folk bands world-wide by Marc Gunn.  “I Know My Love”  was named Best Contemporary Irish Song by Celtic Music Radio in 2016. Also, in 2016 Across the Pond`s Arran Boat Set was also nominated for Best Traditional Irish song by Celtic Music Radio. Their first CD "Kid on the Mountain" has also been entered into the Irish Traditional Music Archives in Dublin, Ireland. Little Beggarman, released October 2019, quickly become a fan favorite.

Across the Pond has created a truly interactive experience.  And they often add award-winning Irish Dancers to their line-up, creating a full Irish experience that can be found without having to buy a plane ticket to Ireland. This band is sure to have you clapping and singing along to songs like "Whiskey in the Jar," all while trying not to spill your drink.  Across the Pond grabs the audience’s attention from the very first beat and hold it right to the end.
