Welcome to the home of Champaign-Urbana's most energetic Irish band, Banish Misfortune.

In Irish Gaelic, "sláinte" is a traditional toast to your health. We wish you the best, and hope you enjoy our music, our good humour and camaraderie. May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live!


We hope to meet you at one of our shows, at a music session around town, or anywhere else where good cheer and fun abound. Irish music can make you sing, cry, dance, and laugh. We hope you join us.
