The Traveling Westburys are Ireland’s newest musical supergroup, a powerhouse collective that channels the spirit of the legendary Traveling Wilburys while infusing it with a rich traditional Irish soul and bold contemporary edge. Exclusively represented by Audionetworks and AMA Music, this band brings together some of the country’s most accomplished talents for an unforgettable live experience.
Leading the charge are two extraordinary vocalists with serious pedigree. Peter M. Smith, renowned for his starring role in the hit rock theatre production *Moonlight: The Philip Lynott Enigma* and frontman of Black Rose DC, delivers powerful, emotive performances that echo the raw energy of Thin Lizzy. His voice carries the swagger and heart of classic rock while seamlessly blending into Irish folk traditions.
Joining him is Phelim Drew, son of the iconic Dubliners legend Ronnie Drew. Phelim is celebrated for his acclaimed tribute shows *Remembering Ronnie Drew* and *Echoes of Freedom*, where he honours his father’s legacy with storytelling, passion, and authenticity. Together, their harmonies create something truly special: a bridge between generations, from the streets of Dublin to the global stage.
The Traveling Westburys deliver a setlist that reimagines beloved classics with fresh, high-quality arrangements. Expect songs you’ve never heard quite like this before, performed with top-level artistry and emotional depth.
These timeless tracks are given new life through exquisite musicianship, blending traditional Irish instrumentation with contemporary flair and rock influences.
