Musically, Emish has both polished and expanded their approach while retaining the quality of their sound that has hooked so many of their fans. Still very much present is the plaintive and moving lyrics and song writing of Bobby Curreri. Matched with the driving fiddle and flute duo of Christy Brown and Jennifer Curreri and solid rhythm of Andrew Hulle on drums and Mike Goliber on bass, Emish and their new material have been dubbed as “A force to be reckoned with” by Matthew Nelligan, President of the Irish 2000, which is one of the nations largest Irish Music Festivals. They have also been characterized as a “Wall of Sound” which emanates not only the power of their music, but the power behind it. All of this has fans screaming rave reviews and has rocketed Emish into the spotlight of the North American Irish Festival circuit.
