…has been a part of The Wolfhound since we opened in 2016. Traditional Irish Music sessions are informal + lively pub performances. Musicians are scheduled to lead, and anyone is welcome to bring their instruments and join in the fun around the table. Come celebrate the music of Ireland at one of our upcoming sessions! And don’t miss Trad Week, our 7-day festival in February…

Trad Week 2024
Trad Week 2023 was a rousing success! Thanks to all the musicians who came to play, and thanks to everyone who came to bear witness! More people came together than ever before - thank you for being a part of it all!
Trad Week is an annual tradition at The Wolfhound, a full week to celebrate the enduring legacy of traditional Irish music. We fly in Irish musicians + singers to perform all week long.
Monday through Thursday, music is played by musicians gathered around the Session Table. These jam sessions include improvisation as well as entire traditional songs. Musicians are encouraged to join in - this is part of the fun of Trad Week! We arrange a lineup, but we never know who could surprise us with a visit. These sessions are casual + communal, starting at 8pm.
Friday through Sunday, music is performed on the Wolfhound stage, more of a concert. These nights are the culmination of the week. Concerts start at 7pm & 10pm and there is a $20 cover charge until midnight.
