Since starting his first Celtic Rock band, The Clan, in 1985, Tom Lenahan has been strongly interested in blending musical styles. He was the first in the States to use bagpipes in a rock band and, from the beginning, he enjoyed finding material in unusal places. When he formed Lenahan in 1994, he started drawing on his Chicago roots to produce music he called "Rhythm 'n' Greens", using blues, jazz, and even ska and reggae elements in his original songs, but never straying far from the blistering sets of tunes that got him started in the first place.
