Remi Brannon spent the last 13 years between Europe and the USA. His music is tainted with memories from Ireland and Brittany where he lived for the major part of his life. His music is without a doubt a genuine reflection of his strong Celtic boundaries that gave him his major influence. Rémi grew up traveling back and forth between Ireland and Brittany where he was often surrounded with a diversity of talented musicians from Scotland, Ireland, Brittany, or America. This is how he came to develop a passion for traditional and folk music. Although the only singer/musician in his immediate family, Rémi was introduced to the music at a very early age by his family in Ireland who shared a keen interest in artists such as Christy Moore, Andy Irvine, Planxty, The Bothy Band and more.  Rémi took up music himself at the relatively late age of 17 and only started to perform at 25, but he has come a long way since then. His main influences on the guitar are Dáithí Sproule (Altan), Arty McGlynn (Bothy Band) and John Doyle (Solas). During his stay in the USA, he co-founded the band Gallica and collaborated with some of the most talented musicians in the Saint Louis area. Along his career path, Rémi had the chance to meet and perform with some of the greatest musicians on the trad scene such as Paddy Keenan (Bothy Band), Conor Lamb and Deirdre Galway (Réalta) or Tom Delany & Caroline Keane (FourWinds) with whom he shared the stage. After having spent 6 wonderful years in the USA, Rémi returned to Europe and settled in Brittany (France) where he worked closely with the big Irish dance production “Avalon Celtic Dances” and different other line-ups such as « Trad 4 Reel » and the duet « In Trad We Trust ». According to the Breton Celti’val Reviews “Through stories and songs, Rémi Brannón makes the audience travel from the green hills of Ireland to the Scottish glens, and from the Breton coastline to the other side of the ocean through American folk songs. His performance combines nostalgy, humour and energy and gives a moving approach of the different Celtic traditions.” Rémi is also the president founder and program director of the School of Irish Arts of Nantes in Brittany where he teaches and shares his passion for traditional Irish music and songs.
