HARDLY STRICTLY IRISH (Suzuki Cady & Jimmy Murphy) ~ Weaving original and traditional roots melodies and songs from Ireland, Appalachia, and the American South, their performance is artistic and uplifting. Experience the soulful sounds of fiddle, mandolin, guitar, clawhammer banjo, and bodhrán.  Visit their website here.

A new, local band is rocking the Bay Area — to high acclaim. In their own words, band members Suzuki Cady and Jimmy Murphy, of Hardly-Strictly Irish, “play lush, country-folk/popular songs and Irish tunes on fiddle, mandolin, guitar, bodhrán, and vocals.” They are commensurate acoustic musicians with decades of experience between them. “We just stepped out at the beginning of 2025,” Cady said during a recent interview. “We’ve been ramping up since then. We have booked 70 shows this year, met loads of great people and garnered a sizable following.

“I lose myself within the magnificence of music,” Cady said. “It is a fascinating world within a world. There is so much to learn and explore.

“Music is an anchor to sanity in a crazy world,” she added. “And analog music in particular brings warmth and humanity into our automated, digital reality. I consider it important work and a joy to provide live, acoustic music for others.” — Sebastopol Times
