About Half Craic'd

Craic" (/kræk/ KRACK), or "crack", is a Gaelic-Irish term for fun, party, music, and entertainment – usually involving alcohol. Half Craic’d is a Cleveland Irish band playing an eclectic mix of originals, Irish rock, R&R, trad, and country/bluegrass. A subsidiary of the Craic Brothers and members of the local Cleveland Irish music scene for the past fifteen years, Half Craic’d blends their different musical experience and influences into their own unique brand of Irish music. 


Half Craic’d consists of Montana-transplant Dr. Marc Mattix on fiddle and mandolin, Bernie McCafferty on guitar, and Dan Hulse on banjo, mandolin, bouzouki, bass, tin whistle, bodhran, and any other obscure instruments he finds abandoned on the curb. Catch the lads playing at your favorite local Irish pubs or at the Kelleys Island Wine Company during the summer months. Check out below for our schedule of gigs..
