Her Brothers

Combining high-energy rock with an intense longing for meaning, Her Brothers hope to ignite conversations of significance surrounding the disillusionment and discouragement of their generation. Whether it’s stories of pain, messages of hope or challenges to stand up against the injustices here at home or around the world, these three brothers have a clear message: together we can change what’s not working in our world.

About Elsay
Elsay, a fresh and fiery Vancouver-based folk group, was the brainchild of Mike Meroniuk and Kirin Lamb, two Capilano University jazz students with a unique love of Celtic music. They started jamming together in the summer of 2012 as a flute and guitar duo. The pair discovered incredible compatibility, and in searching for a fuller sound recruited fiddler Kiel Strang and Irish whistle player Marco Del Rio. Elsay’s simple instrumentation makes for some authentic foot-stomping fiddle music, complete with rhythmic guitar, bright fiddling, and soaring Irish whistle and flute.
