Father Son and Friends

“Father Son and Friends put on a fantastic show at the Wildey Theatre and thoroughly entertained the audience with their music and stories. They were great to work with and I look forward to having them back!”

— Katie Grable, Assistant Director, Edwardsville Parks and Recreation

In 1989, Joey (Father) and Shawn (Son) started a band with their friends. Over the last 30 years they have played their brand of Celtic/Americana Folk Music at festivals, theaters and pubs all across the country. Finding themselves incredibly fortunate to have played on the Mumford and Sons, Gentleman Of The Road Tour and having received an Irish Music Award Nomination for "Top Traditional Band in a Festival, Theatre, Pub" they look forward to their next adventure in Scotland, Summer 2021. Currently, Father Son and Friends can be heard on countless radio stations and television programs/documentaries including The American Woodshop on PBS.
