Community has always been an integral part of Ye Vagabonds. With All Tied Together, they’ve brought that ethos to their music as never before. Rising from the ashes of the 2008 economic collapse, the Mac Gloinn brothers – Brian and Diarmuid – first performed in the streets together as buskers. They coalesced into Ye Vagabonds while simultaneously creating now-legendary music nights and community-building events in their native Carlow, and later in Dublin. At these gatherings, a vast array of musical styles unfolded: jazz, folk, punk rock, blues, traditional Irish fare, Sardinian pipers, the Beatles, everything. The brothers soaked it all up for their work.

Ye Vagabonds have since evolved into a robust collective – a sonically unique ensemble featuring layered acoustic and electric guitars, trumpet, upright bass, Moog synthesizer, harmonium, bouzouki, fiddle, and the blood harmony of the siblings’ distinctive, multi-hued voices. For All Tied Together, the whole shebang was recorded mostly live in an old Galway house, with acclaimed producer Phil Weinrobe (Big Thief, Adrienne Lenker) at the helm.
