A quartet that enjoys the intimacy and synergy of a live performance, Callehan makes music that speaks to the soul. A band that confidently navigates the dynamic landscape of folk and country, they come through with a genre-bending style that embodies the spirit of nostalgia, yet it’s not confined by traditional boundaries. It’s a lively melting pot where folk and country are improvisational…where magic meets the experimental and avant-garde. In their music, you’ll find the soulful melodies, complex harmonies, and rhythmic intricacies that jazz and country are known for. But they also like to take it a step further, incorporating elements from various musical realms for that broad-based appeal.
Their latest release, “The Four Winds,” is catchy and infectious with a toe-tapping beat and a memorable hook that stays with the listener long after the final notes have disappeared.
The execution of this tune embodies a sense of freedom, encouraging Callehan to push the envelope, explore uncharted territories, and challenge the norm, and the end result is something worth every second!
Evoking an after-hours swing ambiance filled with charming guitar melodies and delicate harmonica, “The Four Winds” effortlessly transitions into a smooth folk-country rhythm. The instrumentation, superbly woven together, creates a captivating backdrop that beautifully complements the incredibly rich and immensely expressive lead and backing vocals.
The drums are effortlessly precise and straight to the point, the bass adds a touch of elegance and rhythm, the guitar spreads delightful melodies all around, and the harmonica injects that crystal-clear polish and flair into the arrangement.
This collaborative masterpiece, featuring Ashley MacIsaac, showcases Callehan’s genuine talent without pretense or artificiality. They will tell you straight up that it’s about the music and that fun connection—it always is!
