On The Lash formed in early 2022, with their very first set of shows being a tour
through Pennsylvania and Delaware. Since then, OTL has been busy performing at
festivals and concert venues across the US, as well as sharing their unique background
and experience in the Celtic genre through educational workshops. Some notable
festivals include the KVMR Celtic Fest in Grass Valley, CA; the Yachats Celtic Fest in
Yachats, OR; the Longs Peak Highland Fest in Estes Park, CO; the Celtic Classic in
Bethlehem, PA; and the Michigan Irish Music Festival in Muskegon, MI. During their
travels, On The Lash has shared the stage with renowned artists such as Jeremy Kittel,
Talisk, Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Hass, as well as opening for Altan within their first
year of performing.

All graduates of Western Michigan University’s music program, each member of On The
Lash has a unique, yet complementary background in folk and classical styles.
Elizabeth June (flute/vocals) grew up learning classical flute, but she also had the
unique experience of having a large family full of passion for folk music. Joel Tyrone
Myers (mandolin) started on fiddle as a young lad playing with the Chelsea House
Orchestra, gaining a love and admiration for Irish music at the outset of his music
career. Over the years, he discovered a passion for composition and songwriting, which
has led to his writing and arranging most of the music for OTL. John Robey
(fiddle/stomp) began learning classical violin around seven years old, and it wasn't until
he was fourteen that he began diving into modern styles and improvisational techniques
in his church's worship band. Patrick Hartson (guitar/bass) started out in music playing
cello not only classically, but also in fiddle club learning various styles of Irish dance
tunes. Along the way, he picked up guitar as a secondary instrument, opening the door
to playing in bands in genres from metal to rock and ultimately back to his roots in
Celtic.

Come see this band at Hugh’s Room Wednesday March 11. For lovers of Celtic music,
this is a can’t miss show!
