World of Music: Devilish Merry (Appalachian Irish Fusion)

Devilish Merry is a traditional music ensemble from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that blends Appalachian and Irish melodies with powerful, ballad-based songs on American history and heritage. It’s a lively mix of old-time fiddle tunes, Irish jigs and reels, Pennsylvania folk and labor ballads and riveting new songs from the musicians’ own life experience.

Devilish Merry has performed at museums, school assemblies, coffee houses, bars, parks, malls, hotels, summer camps, art galleries, houses of worship, community nonprofits, Civil War battlegrounds, hospitals, farmers markets, country fairs and every kind of school setting you can imagine, from pre-school on up. Over the last four decades, they’ve probably played for close to a million people. Now, they’re ready to play for you at Alphabet City.
