The Rogues

The pair first performed as a duo in 2012 for the opening of Fia Rua Irish Pub in Richmond Hill. They teamed up again in 2023 before becoming a permanent duo in 2024 after Seldom Sober disbanded following Colleen Settle's retirement. Throughout the years, Michael and Dan have performed at festivals, theaters, pubs, parties, weddings, and other events throughout the Lowcountry. Along with fiddler Colleen Settle, Michael and Dan opened for The Young Wolfe Tones in 2007. At some gigs, including festivals and concerts, they may be joined by Johnnie Kennedy on bass and/or Liam Corbett on bodhran.
