Your Jirish Girl!
City Winery is one of the best venues for live music in the city-- table seating, great wine list, food-- and Solas is one of the best bands out there. What could be better? They will be playing tunes from their "All These Years" 20-year anniversary CD. It may be the last time you get to see them in awhile as I'm told they will be taking a break from touring. We've written about them quite a bit: here's a write-up about their fascinating "Shamrock City" tour.
Here's City's write up about the band:
Formed in 1996, in a manner befitting their name (Gaelic for "light”), Solas burst onto the Irish music scene and instantly became a beacon – an incandescent ensemble that found contemporary relevance in timeless traditions.
11 albums later, with numerous awards to their credit, and more miles  traveled touring the world to count, Solas will mark this milestone with an exciting new recording project and tour, ALL THESE YEARS. It is a celebration of a band that, from its inception, captured the musical world’s attention and went on to become one of the most influential groups in the history of Irish music. ALL THESE YEARS sees Solas reuniting with all the members of the band, past and present, to record new material and embark on a year-long world tour.
Anchored by founding members Seamus Egan (flute, tenor banjo, mandolin, whistles, guitars, bodhran) and Winifred Horan (violins, vocals), who form the backbone of the uniquely definable Solas sound, long time members Eamon McElholm (guitars, keyboards, vocals), and Mick McAuley (button accordion, vocals) and newest member, the dynamic Moira Smiley (vocals, banjo), Solas is musically at the top of their game and continues to be the standard bearer not only for great Irish music, but great music in any genre.
