Martin Hayes Quartet at Philadelphia Episcopal Cathedral

He’s "one of the best fiddlers on the planet." (NPR) Last seen on our stage 10 years ago as part of his supergroup, The Gloaming, Martin Hayes’ soulful interpretations of traditional Irish music are rooted in the slow, lyrical East County Clare fiddling style. Joined by his exquisite quartet, Hayes has “an insatiable appetite for adventure,” putting “beguiling new angles on the tradition,” further cementing his place as one of the most influential talents of the Irish music scene.
