Open the Door for Three. Liz Knowles, Kieran O'Hare, Pat Broaders
SORRY TO SAY, THIS CONCERT HAS HAD TO BE CANCELLED DUE TO AN ILLNESS WITH ONE OF THE GROUP MEMBERS. ALL IS GETTING BETTER BUT REQUIRES SOME R AND R, AND TRAVELLING TO SOMERVILLE NOT ON THE CARDS.
Each time this band has played the series, the audience has left exhilarated. "Road-tested, audience-approved, high-octane, fist-in-glove, laughing-out-loud trio of Irish musicians" is how this new trio has been described and if their new CD is any indication, this will once again, be one of the great nights of music in the Backroom Series this year.
Each individually is well known in their field; Liz as one of the best and most diverse fiddlers, Ciaran as a well travelled Piper (who was a star of the 2011 edition of A Christmas Celtic Sojourn btw), and Pat Broaders multi instrumentalist specializing on bouzouki, singer, and Dublin raconteur. (Liz btw, will be one of the star fiddlers we have lined up for the 2017 series of Christmas Celtic Sojourn, so watch for that.)
Coming together as they have in a trio named after a well known Irish jig, a most interesting and entertaining concert of music, songs and wit is on tap with this one.
Check them out below.
The Burren Backroom series launched in October of 2011 but has already created many memorable, intimate, informal presentations held in a truly atmospheric space which was created by well-known traditional musicians Tommy and Louise McCarthy in Davis Square, Somerville, Massachusetts. DeDanann, Dervish, Teada, The Teetotalers, Lunasa, Robbie O'Connell, Sean Tyrrell, the list is building and building, and the radio recordings have become a feature of the weekly Celtic Sojourn radio broadcasts. A series of CDs "Live from the Backroom" is being planned.
Hosted by Brian O'Donovan of A Celtic Sojourn on WGBH radio, these gatherings feature core performers from many aspects of traditional music as well as special guests, and conversations around the music. Regularly, there are "openers" artists presenting three or four pieces often in contrast to the "main" offering. This has seen some spectacular new and often unexpected talent being presented on stage.
There is a $5 discount for WGBH Members. If you are a member, send an e-mail to celtic@wgbh.org and we will send you the code.
Seating is VERY limited and these events have been selling out, so get your tickets today!
