Sligo native Séamus O'Dowd (guitar, fiddle, harmonica) grew up steeped in the tradition of Sligo fiddling, early on expanding his repertoire to include the New World traditions and today he is as accomplished playing blues on slide guitar as he is playing jigs and reels.

Seamus is well known both from his years with Dervish and from his performing with the best of Irish traditional musicians such as piper Liam O'Flynn and accordionist Máirtín O'Connor.

He is also a member of The Unwanted, a trio that includes American musician Rick Epping and Irish vocalist Cathy Jordan.
