About this vendor

Based in Northampton, MA, New Leaf Irish Band offers beautiful Irish music for weddings in New England and New York. We're a traditional Irish band that happily plays Irish music all year, not just in March. We specialize in ceremonies, cocktail hours, pre- and post-wedding dinners, and celebrations with a Celtic flair. Comprised of Kira Jewett (fiddle), Jacob Hagelberg (accordion), and Jim Bunting (guitar, vocals, and bouzouki), we're a fun, high-energy, technically accomplished trio with ties to some of the greats of the Irish tradition. We can also learn new songs or incorporate any pop or classical melodies and songs you'd like on your special day. We've been called "Pure Drop" by the late great Boston concert promoter Brian O'Donovan, and we were highly acclaimed guests at the Fleadh Nua traditional music festival in Ennis, Co. Clare, Ireland, in 2023.

Me and my wife were looking for a band to play music at our wedding for the ceremony and the cocktail hour that had an Irish touch to it. We reached out to New Leaf and were quickly contacted by Kira. Kira was very responsive soon after that we had a zoom session where we discussed what we were looking for. The band was very flexible with what they could do music wise and helped us with music selections as well. New Leaf played music while our guests were getting seated for our ceremony and for the processional, walk of the bride and recessional. It was all great music and made for a beautiful ceremony. After that the band played an irish music session for our cocktail hour and that provided a very fun, lively environment. We would highly recommend New Leaf for your wedding. We were so happy with everything they did for us music and planning wise, they were very easy to work with, very professional and a very talented group!
