Martin Kelleher

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin Kelleher (born in Cork_City, County Cork, 1962) was a key member of Four to the Bar, a mainstay of the 1990s New York Irish music scene.

His primary instrument was the guitar, but he also added vocals, mandolin, bouzouki, and banjo to the band's sound, on both stage and recordings.

As a songwriter, he wrote four tracks for the band's watershed album, Another Son:

• "Another Son"
• "Something's Come In"
• "The Shores of America"
• "No Matter Where You Go"

He and bassist Patrick Clifford are generally credited with the production of both of Four to the Bar's full-length albums; Another Son is notable for its elegance and Craic on the Road for its punch and atmosphere.
