Irish Traditional Music in the San Francisco Bay Area

Book for Gigs Listen

Bringing the Session Home

Gluin

We're a group of friends who found each other through a shared love of Irish traditional music — the tunes, the songs, the craic.

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Gluin draws from the deep well of Irish tradition while keeping things fresh, intimate, and full of heart. We play the music we love: jigs, reels, hornpipes, airs, and the occasional song — all with an ear to the tradition and an eye on the room.

You'll find us at local sessions, community events, and wherever there's a warm welcome and a good pint. We're always happy to chat about the music, share a tune, or play for your next ceili, wedding, or gathering.
