Oisín McLean is a musician and multi-instrumentalist from Donegal, Ireland. Growing up in a musical family he became familiar with the Irish music scene at an early age. During his extended travels through Eastern and Western Europe he developed himself as an all-round folk and blues musician – a songster. Oisín currently focuses on American blues and ‘old-time’ music: songs about women, drink, love and hardship. He also specializes in interpreting lesser known pearls from the folk tradition. This, combined with the odd Irish ballad and a capturing stage personality, adds up to an exceptional and intimate concert experience which cannot be forgotten easily.
Over the last fifteen years Oisín has performed in Ireland, England, Sweden, Czech Republic, Hungary and Holland, where he currently resides.
