A quintet comprised of some of America's most talented, young musicians, Bua have been described by Irish Music Magazine as 'the essence of a superb band', their sound 'a throwback to the playing of the 1960s and 1970s, keeping the music down the path of tradition' and about their previous release, 'a work without gimmicks, where the musicianship is of the highest quality.' Bua, lending to its Irish Gaelic meaning of 'innate gift', have quickly risen to the status of America's premier traditional Irish music ensemble. Bua has performed at Boston's prestigious Irish Connections Festival, The Milwaukee Irish Festival, Cleveland's Irish Cultural Festival, Celtic Fest Chicago and The Saline Celtic Festival. As individuals they've shared the stage with a host of top Irish musicians including Martin Hayes, David Munnelly, Paddy Keenan, Aoife Clancy, and more! The Irish American News captures their essence: 'Clearly, this group is no locally-based collection of musicians trying to break out. This is a group that has established itself individually and as a group in the traditional community.'
