“Eamon is something of a traditional Irish music activist”
— Brian O'Donovan
Born and raised on traditional music from Ireland, Scotland, and Cape Breton, Eamon Sefton has established himself as one of the top fretted instrument players in the American Celtic music scene. In addition to being a master of several acoustic instruments, Eamon is a heartfelt singer/songwriter. He has performed both locally and internationally with some of the top traditional musicians inside and out of the US, including Liz Carroll, Alasdair Fraser, John Doyle, Hanneke Cassel and many others.
An All-Ireland qualifier, Eamon was featured on RTE One's Fleadh Cheoil 2023 program broadcast from Mullingar. In 2017 he performed at Celtic Connections, one of the top traditional music festivals in the world.
In addition to being the fretted instrument instructor for Boston's Comhaltas traditional Irish music branch, he teaches across the US at music programs including Alasdair Fraser's Sierra Fiddle Camp, Boston State's Fiddle Camp, Pure Dead Brilliant Fiddle weekend, and Fiddle Hell. In 2023 Eamon was the lead vocalist and guitar player of the Germany-based Irish music and dance show, Celtic Rhythms. He was also the guitarist for the USA tour of the Irish dance sensation, Taste of Ireland.
While at home, Eamon leads the traditional Irish music sessions at Boston's top Irish Bar, The Burren. With strong roots in traditional music and a deep knowledge of music theory and harmony, Eamon continues to innovate and push the role of guitar and bouzouki in Celtic music.
