The Beggarmen are an Iowa City-based quartet of traditional Celtic musicians comprised of Brad Pouleson, Keith Reins, and Joseph and Tara Dutcher.

The band find their roots in the traditional music of Ireland and other Celtic regions. The Beggarmen supplement the rich variety of traditional tunes with their own original music. All of the Beggarmen lend their voices as well as their fine playing to the mix.

You can find the Beggarmen performing all over Iowa and Chicagoland. Their first album "I Shall" was released in June 2005 and is available online at cdbaby.com and iTunes along with their second album "Newry Town", released July 2007. Our Iowa City Beggarfans can also find "I Shall" and "Newry Town" at a number of independent stores, including Textiles, The Artisan's Gallery and Record Collector in Iowa City.

In 2009, the Beggarmen received a generous grant from the Iowa Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts to produce a third CD that will be released in 2010.

The Beggarmen are also available for weddings and special events. Contact us for more details.
