Swallowtail Jig - The Petersens (LIVE)

We have had the amazing opportunity to tour Ireland four times and, for a bluegrass band, it just doesn’t get much more fun than pulling out your instruments and joining the locals for a jam session in a pub. After our third tour, we decided to add an Irish song in our show and Katie suggested the “Swallowtail Jig.“ Emmett wrote the interlude part you hear and it just put the icing on the cake. Special shout out to our friends in Ireland who have taken care of us, cheered us on, and paid Katie’s many parking tickets haha (we are looking at you Neil & Joan O’Rahilly, Pat & Kathleen Kelleher, the Lyons family, John Nyhan, and Ger O’Donnell). ►Watch our live concert version Buy or stream the album ►More instrumentals: Irish-inspired Come Ye Sinners Sleigh Ride Wayfaring Stranger
