The Story of Possibly Irish

Possibly Irish began in July 2015 at Oregon's Enchanted Forest. Susan Vaslev, the park’s theatre director, discovered several actors warming up with Irish songs—and just back from a trip to Ireland herself, she saw an opportunity. A band was quickly formed from the theatre staff: Makaio, Cabeau, Emma, and Susan.

Soon after, Emma’s younger sister joined in on fiddle, completing the group. By 2016, a second band was created to meet growing demand. Eventually, the two groups merged in January 2017, becoming the Possibly Irish audiences know and love today.
