Úlla

Traditional Irish music at its best along with other Celtic and English songs and some occassional Americana.

Úlla is made up of some of the best singers and players from the Austin area.

Band Members: Rich Brotherton, Andrea Magee, Pat Byrne, Kristopher Wade, Maddy Brotherton

Úlla formed in 2019 and has had a residency for the last seven years at The Saxon Pub, with weekly sessions on Sunday at 5:30 pm (with occasional exceptions, most notably Covid). In 2025, Rich announced that he had been diagnosed with ALS, but continued to perform. June 7, 2026 marked the final performance of Úlla's residency at The Saxon Pub. Andrea says they will reassess where things go in September 2026. In the meantime, you can watch most of their past performances here.

Úlla was nominated in the 45th Austin Chronicle Music Poll (2026) in the Best Music Residency category.

Úlla's newest album, Úlla II, was released November 2, 2025.
