All four members grew up immersed in Irish traditional music and culture which is reflected by the band collectively achieving over twenty All-Ireland titles at Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann competitions. They have now developed their own unique style of music influenced by American Folk music whilst staying true to their Irish roots. Described as 'The best Irish group so far in bluegrass' by Irish American News this sharply dressed outfit deliver an energy-fuelled, foot- stomping live performance.  JigJam have received notable acclaim for their own original songs.
