In 1994 John Doyle brought his brilliant and innovative guitar stylings to the nascent Irish super-group Solas, which soon took the folk and Celtic music worlds by storm. As part of that critically acclaimed group, he received three NAIRD awards and a Grammy nomination, performed internationally to sold out audiences, and appeared on The Today Show, Mountain Stage, and A Prairie Home Companion.

In the years since going out on his own, John has recorded two solo albums, including Wayward Son, which The Irish Edition hailed as "a contender for Album of the Year"; and has become a highly sought-
after accompanist and session player for the likes of Joan Baez, Eileen Ivers, Tmi O'Brien, Linda Thompson, Seamus Egan, Alison Brown and Kate Rusby; and has developed compelling duo performances, first with fiddler Liz Carroll and more recently with Solas' co-founding vocalist Karan Casey.

John has appeared on soundtracks for feature films The Brothers McMulan and Soldier, as well as PBSs' Out of Ireland. He composed the music for the film Uncle Robert's Footsteps and the play Down the Flats. Impossibly in demand in the studio and on the road, immensely talented and blessed with an acute ear, a wicked sense of rhythm and seemingly endless streams of magic in his playing, composing, performing and producing, John is solidly establishing himself as one of the most versatile, creative and prolific voices in folk and traditional Irish music.
