Fiona Tyndall Band
Fiona Tyndall was born and raised in Country Clare, on the West of Ireland, an area famous for
Traditional Irish music. Fiona studied music at The Dublin Conservatory of Music, and had her
voice trained classically. During that time, she recorded her first CD, Deirin De, a collection of
songs in the Irish language. It was well received on both sides of the Atlantic, not only for her
pure voice but also her unique interpretation of traditional songs. Fiona first expanded her
musical style into jazz when she moved to Boston, collaborating with a group of jazz musicians
to record her second CD, Moonglow, a collection of jazz standards. Fiona and family later
moved to the Princeton area. She cut her teeth with Rock n Roll, singing backing vocals with a
local band (The Funkin’ Soulnuts) and went on to front her own Rock ‘n Roll/ Soul/Motown
band (Uncle Albert). She also developed a love for Burt Bacharach, and has regularly
performed her Bacharach set with a tight band of skilled local musicians. She continues to return
to her Celtic roots and Fiona now focuses on both Traditional Irish and Scottish music. She
created a stand-alone show, Shamrock and Thistle which blends aspects of Gaelic music, quiet
ballads, traditional instrumental jigs and reels, interspersed with works by contemporary Irish
songwriters. Fiona also performs the Songs of Robert Burns at ‘Burns events/Suppers’ during the
month of January. Fiona went back to the studio during COVID and recorded her recent album
New Frontiers, a collection of songs written by Irish composer Jimmy MacCarthy which gets air
play on both sides of the Atlantic. She regularly sings and plays bodhran at the “Sunday
afternoon sessions” at the Dubliner on the Delaware in New Hope, PA and is thrilled to have
teamed up with the exceptional guitarist, Anton Guryev to bring a monthly performance of
traditional Irish music and songs to The Dubliner on the Delaware. The very talented Blair
Higgins (fiddler) will be performing with us each month.
Anton Guryev is a guitarist based in Bucks County, PA. His long musical journey has led him
through diverse bands and genres from classic and folk rock, with undertones of jazz and blues,
to the enchanting realm of traditional Celtic music.
