Jamie Laval: CONCERT POSTPONED TO MAY, 2018
Recognized throughout the U.S. and Britain as one of the premier performers of traditional folk music on the international music scene today, Jamie Laval creates rapt audiences with his passionate, virtuosic performances, uncanny imitation of Highland bagpipes, and engaging stories. One of the hottest fiddlers out there (Asheville Citizen-Times) and The next Alasdair Fraser (Press & Post), Laval performed for Her Majesty the Queen, appeared on Dave Matthews' platinum "Some Devil" album, and presented a TED Talk. Murmurs and Drones, Lavals third and most recent album, won the popular vote for Best World Traditional Album in the 2012 Independent Music Awards. Laval is also skilled composer, arranger of symphonic scores, and devoted educator.

As is the custom of the Burren, it is anticipated informal and dynamic post concert sessions will be a feature.
