Solas on Mountain Stage

Posted on Monday, June 28th, 2010 at 2:15 PM

In case you missed it, here is our performance on Mountain Stage in April!
Link: NPR: Solas on Mountain Stage, April 15, 2010

April 15, 2010

Seamus Egan and Winifred Horan founded Solas in 1996, and the band continues to tour and record its brand of traditional and contemporary Irish-American music. Here, Solas makes its fifth appearance on Mountain Stage since 2000, performing songs from The Turning Tide.

The band puts as much enthusiasm and musicianship behind “The Ditching Boy,” a Richard Thompson composition, and “Girl in the War,” written by Josh Ritter, as it does with traditional numbers such as “Bird in the Tree.”

Mountain Stage house vocalist Julie Adams closes this set with a performance of her own.
