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. The Irish Echo described the band as the “the hottest Irish acoustic band on the planet”; MOJO magazine named the band “the new gods of Irish music\,” adding that “nobody since the Bothies has wielded such a thrilling rhythmic underlay.” Billboard raved that “anybody who listens can’t help but find them contagious.” \nHaving since sold over a quarter of a million records and performed over 2\,500 shows across 36 countries\, Lúnasa has won multiple awards and become one of the most influential bands in the history of traditional music. \nLúnasa’s current lineup includes Trevor Hutchinson\, bassist with The Waterboys; uilleann piper Cillian Vallely\, who toured with Riverdance and recorded with Bruce Springsteen; Kevin Crawford\, widely considered one of Ireland’s greatest flute players; award winning fiddler Colin Farrell and guitarist Ed Boyd\, known on the UK folk circuit for his work with bands such as Flook\, Kate Rusby\, and Cara Dillon. \nThe current tour highlights music from their Live in Kyoto album\, which was recorded live in the Taku Taku club in Kyoto\, Japan in Dec 2023.  “This is first class Irish music…. A cracker of an album\, well worth having” Living Tradition\, UK \nPerforming The Bull’s March and O’Carolan’s Tea from Live in Kyoto in Eugene\, Oregon \n \nLúnasa stops by WTJU Radio Charlottesville for an intimate live concert. \n \nLúnasa with founding member Donogh Hennessy perform Morning Nightcap live at Belfast TradFest 2024 \n \nArtist Social Media\n\nWebsite: https://www.lunasamusic.com/\nYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/user/Lunasafilms\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lunasaband/\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lunasaband/
