Born from late-night pub sessions and a shared love of raw, honest music, The Blackthorn Oath are a modern Irish folk-rock band forging anthems for the defiant, the restless, and the resilient. Blending traditional Celtic instrumentation with driving rock energy, their sound is built on soaring fiddle lines, gritty acoustic guitars, thunderous rhythms, and vocals made to be sung with raised voices and raised pints.
Rooted in the storytelling traditions of Irish folk but powered by the urgency of contemporary folk-rock, the band create songs that speak to unity, brotherhood, and endurance. Their music carries the spirit of community and resistance — not as nostalgia, but as living, breathing energy for a new generation of listeners.
Whether performing in intimate pub rooms or on festival stages, The Blackthorn Oath deliver performances defined by intensity, connection, and collective spirit. Their songs are not just heard — they are shared, shouted, and carried forward.
