For the past four years, The Breakaway Band has been captivating audiences with a unique blend of Irish folk, country, and contemporary music. Though we’ve performed together as Breakaway for this time, our musical journey spans decades, rich with shared experiences, deep friendships, and an unwavering passion for music.
Before becoming The Breakaway Band, we were known as Divine Harmony, Our travels have taken us from the bustling streets of New York to the beautiful coastlines of Spain, Portugal, and Ibiza. We spent many memorable summers performing in Santa Ponsa and have played across countless venues in Ireland and England, bringing joy to social dances and events.
In 2020 we had the honour of taking over Breakaway from our dear friend, John McKenny, after his passing on the 1st of August 2012. John was a beloved figure in the music world, and it has been our privilege to continue the legacy he built. Since then, we’ve been busier than ever, performing at weddings, corporate functions, festivals, and many other events, creating moments that last a lifetime.
We proudly honour our origins with a tribute to the original Breakaway band members, John, Barney, and Francie. Their contribution laid the foundation of the band we are today, Marty and myself continue to carry their spirit forward in every performance.
At The Breakaway Band, music is at the heart of who we are. Our love for the craft, combined with decades of collaboration, shapes every note we play. We believe in the power of music to connect people, lift spirits, and create lasting memories. This belief drives our passion for every performance, ensuring each event is a special one.
