Ballinloch

   Cleveland, OH

Ballinloch, our town of the lake: connecting our home in Northeast Ohio to our heritage in Ireland, telling stories of our families, from rebellion to immigration, and trips back to “home”. Ballinloch blends traditional tunes with sometimes haunting, sometimes uplifting original lyrics by songwriter, Marcus Dirk. Like true schanachies of old, Ballinloch’s tales keep the hearth’s fire lit with music that draws us back to our Celtic roots. Ballinloch has been playing music together since 2015 releasing two albums “Home From the Sea” & “Rise Up!” along the way. Songwriter guitarist, Marcus Dirk is joined by seasoned Irish multi-instrumentalists Maureen Conway Reich and Patrick Faith.
