Gadan is a storming new band blending the drive of Irish trad and bluegrass with the soul of Celtic and Appalachian roots music – all spiced with unmistakable Italian flair! Founded by Lorenzo Testa and Jacopo Ventura – two renowned Italian musicians from the Irish and European folk scene – the project quickly evolved with the addition of Joan Gatti , an outstanding young fiddle virtuoso bringing a fresh and contemporary sound to the band’s identity. In 2024, Gadan expanded its international lineup by joining forces with Enda Scahill , world-renowned tenor banjo player and founder of We Banjo 3, and Eric Long , acclaimed Appalachian songwriter, singer and clawhammer banjoist from San Francisco. With no less than three outrageous banjos, plus fiddle, mandolin and guitar, Gadan delivers a powerful strings-only sound that bridges Irish tradition and contemporary roots music. Their electrifying live performances combine precision, groove and storytelling, proving that you don’t need drums to make a crowd dance.
