It was just this past December when Oisin Mac Diarmada charmed his way into the hearts of Northern Californians at The Sofia. His Irish Christmas in America tour sold out several cities during the North American tour, and rightly so. Its blend of storytelling, dancing, world-class musicians, and unexpected comedy made for an unforgettable evening. Now, Mac Diarmada has brought Ireland back to us. This time he comes with his traditional Irish supergroup, Teada (which means strings in Irish).

Christmas is a time that evokes many different feelings. For some, like me, the stress of finding the perfect gifts is balanced with the coziness of having everyone at home enjoying our family traditions. Warm fires, hot cocoa, maybe seeing a production of The Nutcracker or A Christmas Carol, and enjoying the company of those we don't see but a few times a year. Of course, I am always open to exploring new traditions and this year I am particularly excited to experience the lauded Irish Christmas in America. It was started in 2005 by popular Sligo fiddler Oisin Mac Diarmada and boasts talented musicians, singers, and dancers Niamh Farrell, Seamus Begley, Samantha Harvey, Sean Gavin, and Grainne Hambly. Broadway World Sacramento spoke to Mac Diarmada about his whirlwind annual tour, Irish traditions, and how the upcoming show in Sacramento falls on a very special day. Nollaig Shona dhaoibh! Merry Christmas to you!
