The Makem Brothers are the sons of Tommy Makem, a living legend of Irish music and a resident of New Hampshire. Rory, Conor, and Shane Makem are quickly emerging from their father's shadow with a stripped-down approach to traditional songs and some tight three part harmonies. We talk to them about traditional music in a modern age and sample their new CD, Stand Together. More at www.redbiddy.com
