Meet the Band

Members

—

Liam
Lead Vocals / Spoons

Liam R Hudock was raised in the folk tradition by his father, Robert who played in the folk clubs in Greenwich Village in the 60s and his mother, Sharon, a life-long member of the Ancient Order of Hibernian. His parents instilled a love of Irish traditional and rebel music in him from an early age. In his youth he played in a world renowned pipe band before joining the United States Marine Corps. He's been a member of BAM since 2011 and a contributor to their last 2 albums. He's the writer of "Bravest and Boldest" inspired by his friends and family members who are public servants. When not making music he works in the craft beer industry. As he says, "My life revolves around beer and music. I must have done something right somewhere".

Carole
Lead Vocals / Bodhran

Carole never listened to Irish music. In fact Led Zeppelin was more her cup of vodka. But one day in 2005 she wandered into an Irish session at a pub in Center Moriches, NY, and everything changed. She was suddenly immersed in music she had never heard. Next she made the mistake of singing a few songs with the band Seabreeze. That led to the group Newgrange Stone.  And then that fateful day when she walked into a bar as Bangers and Mash’s then lead singer was storming out the door. The rest is history.

Dan
Guitar

Dan Gootner grew up in South Florida in a musical family, and picked up the guitar at age 15. He also plays Harmonica, Ukulele, Dobro, Sitar, Ghuzeng, and Dulcimer. He has been playing professionally for the last 20 years, writing and recording original music, as well as touring nationally and internationally.

Seth
Bass

Ah, so you want to know about Seth... the riddle, wrapped in an enigma, surrounded by a mystery and served with a side order of curry fries and an ice cold Coors Light. Congratulations, you are obviously a fan with discerning tastes! But how, you ask, did a nice young Jewish boy from Brooklyn get involved in a Celtic rock band? Oh, it's a very long and convoluted story that we are unable to tell in its entirety, starting with the Clancy Brothers at Carnegie Hall and hearing Fairport Convention on WNEW FM. It progressed from a 2 piece Irish American Folk band Seabreeze into a 6 piece and sometimes more Celtic Rock band doing a good percentage of originals. Along the way there have been many twists and turns but generally lurching forward  toward  the next level. 
There... all caught up?

Larry
Drums/Vocals

Larry Dinan, a local drummer/percussionist, has been studying and performing music for the last 25 years in the South Florida area. Moving from New York at an early age and following in the footsteps of his professional drumming father, Larry picked up the sticks in his young teenage years and hasn't stopped since. He studied at Florida Atlantic University in the performing and commercial music programs. Taught local high school drumlines and percussion programs for multiple years. Now fully performing behind the kit for a variety of styles, you can catch him 'banging' away for Bangers & Mash for the foreseeable future!
