Our story
Pay the Reckoning was founded in 2008 by Ken Doyle on Irish flute and tin whistle and Mark Pitner on bouzouki and guitar, both of whom had participated in the Chattanooga Irish Session playing locally at Durty Nelly's Irish Pub. They released their first album, The Green Mountain, in 2011. In 2018, Sarah Hunt-Inostroza joined the band, bringing her fiddle and vocal talents to the group.
The trio has played for weddings, receptions, dances, wakes, workplace events and concerts throughout Chattanooga and the surrounding areas.
