RUNA

Here's a fine new discovery to satisfy the most discriminating Celtic music enthusiast. RUNA takes a contemporary and refreshing approach to traditional and new Celtic material. Through their energetic and graceful acoustic melodies, fusion of styles from Ireland, Scotland, Shetland Islands, Canada, and the United States, this trio gives their traditional songs and tunes a fresh, elegant and deliciously mystical sound.
RUNA plays traditional Celtic songs as if "they had been thought up yesterday to capture all the stuff of life that never goes awayall the happiness, sadness, the time for dance and rejoice, or the time for being still with your own yearning." - Christopher Marcus
Shannon Lambert-Ryan of Philadelphia fronts the band with rich, vibrant vocals. Dublin guitarist Fionán de Barra, of the Moya Brennan Band, Riverdance, Clannad, and Fiddler's Bid, contributes exciting dynamics. Canadian percussionist Cheryl Prashker brings a wide range of percussive styles.
