Tulua is a group we have been interested in for well over a year now, so when this opportunity popped up, we grabbed it. One of the most exciting young bands in contemporary Irish traditional music, Tulua combine a fresh, energetic sound with deep roots in the tradition. Meaning ‘tribe of many paths’ Tulua hail from the southeast of Ireland. Drawing inspiration from local songs, tunes and sessions around Ireland, their music blends strong instrumental playing with rich arrangements and storytelling through song. They have played alongside many of the biggest names in Irish music including Beoga, Dervish, De Dannan, Alantic Arc, Fergal Scahill and Cormac Begley.

Since the bands formation in 2019, Tulua have toured extensively worldwide. In their previous visits to North America Tulua have played the Stan Rogers Festival Canada, the Goderich Celtic Roots Festival and were official showcase artists at the 2025 Folk Alliance International Conference in Montreal. Their tour of Canada this fall will be a month long, coast to coast excursion with 22 dates in 7 provinces. There is a funny story about how it is that Tulua will be playing at MERA. Come to the show and find out how lucky we are.
