Pay the Reckoning is a trio of instrumentalists from Chattanooga, Tennessee who perform authentic traditional Irish dance melodies on the Wooden Flute, Tin Whistle, Fiddle, Tenor Banjo, the Irish Bouzouki, and Bodhrán, and sing rousing Irish folk songs for an experience of revelry and merriment no less convivial than any public house on the Emerald Isle.

For knights and unicorns, vaudeville classics from the Lawrence Welk Show, or old-timey crossover tunes, see the other guys. We’re the real deal!
