Hailing from the occupied territories of the Songhees, Esquimalt and WSÁNEĆ nations (Victoria, BC in Canada), Clanna Morna brings their take on the CelticTraditional genre to the west coast. Their sound is rooted in the traditional Irish, Scottish and English music that many love, and features carefully crafted arrangements, rhythmic spirited energy and captivating storytelling. Comprised of an ensemble of multi-instrumentalists, their collective musicianship and attention to detail create a unique sound.

Members of Clanna Morna have been arranging and performing traditional Celtic and original music for over a decade in other projects, sharing their melodic arrangements and stories both internationally and locally. Since their formation in the fall of 2020 Clanna Morna has toured Coastal British Columbia multiple times as well as the Okanagan, delivering over 70 performances in their first 9 months as an ensemble. Notable performances include the Oceanside Folk/Roots club in Qualicum Beach, the 2021 Victoria Highland Games, the Gorge Harbour Marina on Cortes Island, and the Earth Club Factory on Denman Island.

The band is comprised of Cody Baresich (mandolins, Irish bouzouki, tin whistle, percussion, vocals), Finn Letourneau (fiddle, banjo, vocals), Mark Leigh (accordion, tin whistles, vocals), and Syver Berkley (guitar, vocals). With the combination of traditional instruments featuring strong melodic leads, rhythmic guitar accompaniment and foot percussion, the band covers a wide swath of musical ground. From high-energy instrumentals to slow ballads, drinking songs to sea shanties, Clanna Morna brings a unique west coast influence to Celtic & English folk. The band pays tribute to and takes inspiration from legendary predecessors including The Dubliners, The Pogues, the Bothy Band, Planxty, The Clancy Brothers, and The Wolfe Tones.
