John McSherry has been a major figure in Irish music for almost 20 years. He is hailed as one of the finest exponents of the art of uilleann piping in the world today, described as ‘a true master’ by Irish Music Magazine.
He is a composer, producer, arranger and established studio session musician of world renown, having recorded and performed with the likes of Sinéad O’Connor, Rod Stewart, Nanci Griffith, Gary Kemp, The Corrs and Clannad – gracing the latter’s Grammy award-winning album ‘Landmarks’.
A founder member of top traditional music bands Lúnasa, Tamalin and Dónal Lunny’s Coolfin in the 1990s, John has subsequently produced a string of critically acclaimed and innovative albums, both solo and collaborative, as well as co-writing ‘The Wheels Of The World: 300 Years of Irish Uilleann Pipers’
(Jawbone Press, 2015), a benchmark publication in traditional music history and appreciation.
2016 saw the release of John's latest solo album 'The Seven Suns' to huge critical acclaim. Full of stunning original compositions, 'The Seven Suns' is a concept album that journeys through some of the mysteries of Ireland's ancient past.
John continues to push the boundaries of Irish music while remaining passionate about its ancient heart, with his current bands John McSherry & The Soma Band, At First Light, Ulaid and The Olllam.
