Night Tree's CD release in October in this series was sold-out! This time, they will be joined by Jenna Moynihan fresh off of her stunning impact at A Christmas Celtic Sojourn. What a night this promises to be.
Inspired by fiddler and Solas founder Win Horan, I went to see these guys in a recital at New England Conservatory's Jordan Hall this spring and it was just jaw dropping. Taking the traditional base that Win had introduced and using all of the chops, skills, and musical curiosity these six musicians had assembled, a unique sound was created. Such was the impact, that all of the professors and NEC in addition to Win herself and several others involved in music advised them to stay together, record an album and tour it. And that is precisely what they are doing.
Produced by Seamus Egan, this new recording will be celebrated in their official CD release party as part of our series. Anything goes this night, and I just can't wait for the recording - and the celebration of it in Somerville. Hope you can join us for this one. Check them out below as an opener for Solas in Beverly.
Jenna Moynihan fresh off her huge impact with Christmas Celtic Sojourn this year, will open and if true to the spirit of the Burren Backroom, we predict she will also collaborate!
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.
