Band Bios

Bill O'Donnell: Bass, vocals
Bill started his musical career in the realm of classical music. He soon learned that playing the French Horn was not a great way to meet and impress members of the opposite sex. Being a fast learner, he picked up a guitar and never looked back. He has performed folk, country and old-time R&R before settling on the Celtic genre of music. Bill now devotes full time to playing bass and handling technical matters for the band. He continues to compose music in various genres.

Michael Kent: 12-string and 6-string guitars, vocals
There seems to be no proof of Michael's existence prior to the formation of this band, although we know he did exist in some form or another. This has led his fellow band mates to suspect that he is in the federal witness protection program. Only Fluffy knows for sure.

Kelly O'Dea: Fiddle, vocals
Although she is The Juice's fiddler extraordinaire, Kelly also performs music in other genres--and quite well. Web site SepiaChord.com described her as the "secret weapon" in the band Tarantella. In addition to Irish folk music, Kelly is an accomplished performer on the Hardanger Fiddle (Hardingfele). She has also performed and recorded with Portland-based Strangers Die Every Day and Minneapolis-based Painted Saints. During her career in Denver, Kelly has shared the stage with artists such as Thurston Moore, Jello Biafra, Dick Dale, and The Fray.

Robert MacLean: Tenor and 5-string banjos, vocals
As Robert tells his story: "I was born in Colchester, England to a lovely family. At an early age I was exposed to a large array of Scottish, Irish, and American folk music. My Dad is a musician who lives in Canada with my brothers and Mom. I took piano lessons as a little nipper and then in 2003 I acquired a banjo and began the noise. I moved to Denver in August 2006 and met the band a short time later. After a stringent screening process followed by a stressful audition, Mike, Bill and Kelly graciously consented to let me join them. I have loved it ever since."
