The Sheen Center Presents: Lunasa

About the Show

Named for an ancient Celtic harvest festival in honor of the Irish god Lugh, Lúnasa was formed in 1997 from members of some of the greatest Irish groups of the previous decade, an early review from Folk Roots magazine described the band as an “Irish music dream team”. From the start, the band’s complex arrangements and unique sound reshaped the boundaries of traditional music and energized audiences the world over. 

Critical acclaim followed, and Billboard raved that “anybody who listens can’t help but find them contagious.” Lunasa’s current lineup features Trevor Hutchinson, who achieved fame as the bassist with The Waterboys: piper Cillian Vallely was a member of Riverdance and recorded with Bruce Springsteen: Flute player Kevin Crawford, considered one of Ireland’s greatest flute players, was a member of Moving Cloud: award-winning? fiddler Sean Smyth, who performed with Donal Lunny’s legendary Cool and accordionist Alan Kelly; Colin Farrell is a multiple award-winning fiddler, who has toured with Project West, Grada, and Michael McGoldrick: Guitarist Ed Boyd made a name for himself in the UK folk scene with bands such as Flook, Kate Rusby, and Cara Dillon. Please join us for an unforgettable evening of music featured on the band’s latest album “Cas.”
