The folk revival that began in the 1950s brought new attention to the traditional music of American and Celtic cultures. It also shone a bright light on their shared history and unmistakable similarities. Musical influences have crossed the Atlantic in both directions ever since, resulting in a lush mix of contemporary and traditional sounds.

Hobnail calls Bucks County, PA home and has been performing this music in the Pennsylvania/New Jersey area for many years. In this band, Bud Osthaus, Peter Kane, Randy Decker, and Jeff Morgan bring together a wealth of experience performing in venues and festivals around the U.S. and recording multiple albums.
