with more detail…

Shades of Green is an American musical group specializing in Irish and Americana music, fusing traditional Irish and Irish Rock music.

The group was formed circa 2018 by Scot Silver, Pat O’Shea, Jim Briggs and Eric Schreiber, all veterans of the local music scene who wanted to share their love of traditional and modern Irish music. In 2022, the group released their debut album, Conversations We Never Had, based on a book of poetry written by Pat and his late father.
