Eamonn Flynn was born into a musical family in Dublin, Ireland.
He first came to prominence playing Hammond organ and piano on
the 14 million selling movie soundtrack 'The Commitments' about a
soul band from Dublin and has gone on to play with Michael
Franti, Evelyn 'Champagne' King, Elvin Bishop, Coco Montoya,
Michelle Shocked and Zigaboo Modeliste. In 2017 he released an
acclaimed album of his original songs called 'The Irish Channel'
and many of these songs are featured in the 'Dublin Saunter'
show.
A member of Ireland's foremost family of song, The Black Family,
Shay Black regularly tours in the United States and Canada and
performs with brother Michael as the Black Brothers, and also
with sisters Mary and Frances as the Black Family. With a
background steeped in traditional and folk music, he has a huge
song collection and has taught repertoire building at many music
camps and festivals as well as a long-running song class at the
Freight and Salvage in Berkeley.
