notes

The Roundstone Buskers formed in 2002 and disbanded in 2004, was "not another meat and potatoes Irish band." While they played traditional Celtic and folk music, it was not of the ordinary fare. Their selection of songs and tunes and their arrangements were unique and carefully selected. There was an uplifting spirit and drive to their music. The old world and the new world managed to meet on stage with this group as they wove elements of both in their own arrangements of songs and tunes.

"To watch this group perform is to feel as if you are invited to a party in which you are the guest of honor. There is a true genuine relationship with the audience that is infectious if not downright refreshing."

"...the Roundstone Buskers who in less than a year have managed to make a name of themselves with their take on Old World traditions that are revisited with their unique and uplifting interpretations of traditional Celtic and folk music."-Jan/Feb 2003 JayTV.com "Scenezine" Magazine

"Thanks for letting us play along!! Cheers from Gaelic Storm Pat Murphy"

"It was great sitting in with y'all" -Ryan Lacey, Gaelic Storm

"Music is the show's backbone (American Wake), and the Roundstone Buskers bring accomplished musicianship with Shannan Sullivan as fiddler and violinist, Tom Jones keeping the beat on bodhran drum, dumbek and penny whistle, and Tom Grafton on guitar and hammered guitar. Jones' drum solo won big applause."-Journal Star,Peoria, IL

"I've listened to your CD about 7 or 8 times now and I really like it...you've done some very cool stuff with it...I especially like the unusual things..." Barry Cloyd

In March of 2002, the Roundstone Buskers formed, but disbanded in December 2004. The band was: Tom Grafton, Tom Jones and Shannan Sullivan. This was the first recording for the Roundstone Buskers. To find out more about this group, visit their site at: www.RoundstoneBuskers.net
