The Heatons are consummate musicians who have the reputation of "playing the heck" out of their instruments, including Irish wood flute, accordion, guitar and bouzouki. After years of study in Chicago, and many nights of music in Clare, Galway, and their adopted home of Boston, Irish Music Magazine’s John O’Regan wrote, “their duet playing is tight, sweet, and tasteful, lacking nothing on either technical expertise or instrumental virtuosity.”
Their music comes from a traditional aesthetic, a devotion to strong traditional bones, and a passion for reaching out to the modern world around them. They are devoted to Irish traditional music and uplift listeners by connecting with each other and the people around them. They bring to the stage a depth of shared experience and a love for Irish music; their stage banter is comfortable, often hilarious.
