Englert Presents Irish Supergroup Lúnasa 3/10/12
The Englert Theatre is set to host Irish traditional music ensemble Lúnasa on Saturday, March 10 at 8pm.
Lúnasa is a collection of many of the top musical talents in Ireland. Its members have formed some of the influential Irish groups of the decade. The accomplished lineup features bassist Trevor Hutchinson (The Waterboys), Paul Meehan (Karan Casey Band, North Cregg), fiddler Sean Smyth, flutist Kevin Crawford (Moving Cloud), and piper Cillian Vallely of the famous Vallely artistic clan. Known for their engaging live performances, Lúnasa has toured and performed with the likes of Mary Chapin Carpenter, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Rosanne Cash, and Billy Bragg. Critically acclaimed as leaders in modern Irish music, Folk Roots magazine has described Lúnasa as an “Irish music dream team.”
