Vision

Since we began in 1993, the world of Irish and traditional folk music in the United States has completely changed. Online streaming and corporate distributors with zero connection to the culture have reduced music to invisible digital data.

But music belongs in the physical world. We believe in surrounding ourselves with the objects that embody the life we want to live. If you want a life full of music, you fill your physical space with it.

Ossian USA connects fans and musicians with the physical CDs, tune books, and sheet music that keep this heritage alive. From raw, unarranged "roots" archival recordings by legends like Joe Heaney and Willie Clancy, to published instructional books and rare choral arrangements, we curate valuable collector's items that honor the craft.

You can shop our full online catalog or pull up a chair to chat with us at a festival in the Northeast. We are all part of keeping the tradition moving forward.
