Five Pint Mary is a 5 piece, Irish-influenced band from Bend, Oregon. Since its formation in 2011, by Michael and Sarah Holmes, they have been known for their upbeat and rollicking style of Irish/pirate/folk-rock.

After Michael's unexpected passing in 2021, they have reformed and literally risen from the ashes. Original band members Sarah Holmes (vocals, guitar, Irish tin whistles), Matt Gwinup (vocals, mandolin, guitar) and Evan Holmes (violin/fiddle) have welcomed new members Mark Knippel (bass, horn) and Travis Palladino (guitar, vocals) into their clan. Together, they are keeping the Five Pint Mary spirit alive. Still rocking Michael Holmes's original songs, along with their well-honed and favorite Irish music, and mixing in some fun, outside-of-the-box covers.
