Owen and Moley Ó Súilleabháin are two brothers from one of Ireland's most musical and artistic families. They have recorded ancient sacred chant and performed internationally with their mother, singer and theologian Nóirín Ní Riain, in a trio called AMEN. Their father, Michael Ó Súilleabháin, renowned musicologist, composer and pianist, has brought traditional Irish music to the world stage, and they love to bring him on stage with them too.

The brothers Ó Súilleabháin have recorded with Riverdance composer Bill Whelan, and performed with violinist Nigel Kennedy, actor Russell Crowe, poet David Whyte, and Irish traditional music legends The Chieftains. Hollywood director Steven Spielberg is also a big fan and gave them a singing part in his 2011 movie WarHorse. Owen (32) & Moley (28) are now living in New York City, bringing their world class double act to this side of the Atlantic.
