the olllam Tickets

The olllam is a transatlantic collective that blends Irish traditional music with Detroit’s psychedelic post-rock energy. Led by John McSherry (uilleann pipes, whistles) and Joe Dart of Vulfpeck (bass), the lineup includes Michael Shimmin (drums), Ross Ainslie (whistles), Seán O'Meara (guitar), and Joe Hettinga (keys). Their sound is deep, rhythmic, and melodic. Rooted in tradition but reaching into bold, cinematic territory.

Following their acclaimed album elllegy (RTÉ Radio 1 Best Group), The olllam has collaborated with GRAMMY-nominated producer Zedd, shared the stage in Belfast with actor Anthony Boyle (Netflix’s House of Guinness), and recently completed a landmark US tour in November 2025.

From ancient airs to future soundscapes, The olllam are not just carrying the tradition forward, they're reinventing it.
