In 2019, Amadans were delighted to perform again for Irishfest, this time for its fifteenth anniversary. In 2021, Amadans teamed up with the Shamrock Club and the La Crosse’s own Clog Jam, for the 60th anniversary of La Crosse Octoberfest and together won the coveted Maple Leaf Parade, Directors Award.
The band features three of the original members, Barry Byrne (guitar, accordion, vocals), Sherri Byrne (Bass), Finnian Cullen (bodhran and vocals) as well as talented local musician, Kyle Humfeld (accordion, banjo, violin).
