Both steeped in Irish music, dance and culture, Dave Curley and Pauline Conneely, two world-renowned musicians, will perform at the Burren Backroom Concert Series.
Pauline founded the band Chicago Reel, has performed with Grammy nominated Liz Carroll, The Chieftains, Cherish the Ladies and many others. She has recently been awarded with Best Solo CD of the Year [2016] by Irish American news. Dave is a multi-instrumentalist and a member of the award-winning bands SLIDE and The Brock McGuire band. He's performed with Grammy winner Moya Brennan, Goitse, John Doyle, Mick Broderick, and others.
The Burren Backroom series is now well established as one of the most sought-after boutique series of trad presentation in the world. It has already created already dozens of memorable, intimate, informal presentations held in a truly atmospheric space which was founded by well-known traditional musicians Tommy McCarthy and Louise Costello in Davis Square, Somerville, Massachusetts.
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. As is the custom of the Burren, it is anticipated informal and dynamic post concert sessions will be a feature.
Tickets are $23 in advance, with 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.
