Aislinn Gagliardi - The Thin Place
Debut Solo Harp Album Launch Party
Aislinn Gagliardi presents her first solo Irish harp album The Thin Place. This album blends popular traditional Irish tunes with those less commonly played, and features four of her own compositions including one with the album's namesake. Joining Aislinn on select tracks are some of Chicago's finest Irish musicians: Liz Carroll (fiddle), Teresa Shine (fiddle) and John Williams (concertina).
Tied in with the album's overall concept of "the thin place" (the hazy boundary between the fairy world and this one), the album release party coincides with Samhain (or Halloween) when this boundary is at its most unstable. The party takes place on Wed., October 28 at 7:30pm at Chief O'Neill's; 3471 N. Elston Ave.; Chicago, and the album's guest musicians will be making an appearance as well! Tickets are a $10 suggested donation with children 12 and under free. ***Note that you may increase your donation by adjusting the ticket price before selecting quantity.*** Tickets are available in advance on-line or at the door (cash only). Seating is limited and tickets are required.
Aislinn is a professional Irish harpist based in Chicago, and is well sought after as a performer, teacher and recording artist. Drawing from her background in Irish dance and influenced by a diverse musical range from classical to Cape Breton, Aislinn's distinct style shines through her music in an open and honest way. Known for her syncopated and rhythmic accompaniment, her compositions and arrangements offer a fresh perspective to the Irish music tradition.
