Chris Byrne co-founded the band Black 47 with Larry Kirwan in 1989 and, after leaving in 2000, founded the "celtic hip-hop" band Seanchai & the Unity Squad. "Seanchai" is Byrne's hip-hop stage name, loosely translated from Irish as 'storyteller'. Currently he performs at Rocky Sullivan's on Fridays and Saturdays. Current members of Seanchai and the Unity Squad are Rachel Fitzgerald on vocals, Andrew Harkin on bass, Terry Wetmore on drums and Jason Goodrow on guitar.

In 1996, Byrne also co-founded Rocky Sullivan's, a classic-style pub, in New York City.
