The Seamus Egan

SALES ENDED FOR TODAY. SOME TICKETS AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR. DOORS ARE AT 5:30.

In 2017, Seamus Egan, founding member of the seminal band Solas, will be touring for the first time ever, as The Seamus Egan Project, bringing along friends and musical guests, and introducing fans to both the entirety of his immense and influential catalog of music, as well as new music hes never recorded or performed live. Beginning with tunes from his groundbreaking album, When Juniper Sleeps, which was the impetus for the formation of Solas, through the 20 year recording career of this iconic band, along with new tunes, Egan will continue to explore the further reaches of the Irish tradition, and beyond.

So this is a rare opportunity to see something new, and dynamic! Moira Smiley, Kyle Sanna, and Owen Marshall will be part of the group.
