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/

SUMMARY:The Great Andy Irvine Will Join Us Oct 18\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:Andy Irvine is one of the great Irish singers\, his voice one of a handful of truly great ones that gets to the very soul of Ireland. He has been hailed as “a tradition in himself”. \nMusician\, singer\, songwriter\, Andy has maintained his highly individual performing skills throughout his over 60-year career. \nAndy has been at the helm of legendary bands like Sweeney’s Men in the mid 60s\, to the enormous success of Planxty in the 70s\, and then Patrick Street\, Mozaik\, LAPD and recently Usher’s Island. Andy has been a world music pioneer and an icon for traditional music and musicians. See the full list of his recordings here. \nAs a soloist\, Andy fills the role of the archetypal troubadour with a show and a travelling lifestyle that reflect his lifelong influence\, Woody Guthrie. To quote the Irish Times\, “Often copied\, never equalled”\, his repertoire consists of Irish traditional songs\, dexterous Balkan dance tunes and a compelling canon of his own self-penned songs. \nAndy plays a range of instruments including bouzoukis (part of the Oud family\, a mix of guitar and bass)\, mandolas\, and mandolins\, and a “bassouki” (a regular bouzouki restrung and tuned to CGDG). \n \nUpdated October 18th\, 7:30 AM\, Tickets Available at the Door!  Online sales have ended.    \nWe will have 41 tickets available to sell at the door this evening\, and it’s first come\, first served.    Click here for parking information and location of the hall.  \n$40 for adults\, and $10 for Caltech Students and Youth through High School \nWe only accept cash or checks for tickets sold at the door. \n\n\n\n Pets and emotional support animals Are NOT ALLOWED\, no exceptions.  Registered Service animals are allowed under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

SUMMARY:Irish Fiddle Legend Kevin Burke - Now Sold Out
DESCRIPTION:As of May 14th\, this concert is sold out. No tickets will be available at the door.  \nKevin Burke’s fiddle playing has been at the forefront of traditional music since the  1970’s. His far-reaching solo album\, “If the Cap Fits”\, and his work with such distinguished performers as Arlo Guthrie\, Kate Bush\, Christy Moore and the Bothy Band established him as a first class musician. Never one to be restricted by geography or genre\, his decades long career has seen several innovative collaborations with notable musicians of differing styles – Classical\, Old Time\, Bluegrass\, Pop and Rock as well as the Irish Traditional music for which he is so well known. He has worked with Grammy winner\, singer and instrumentalist Tim O’Brien; Liam O Maonlai\, lead singer of the Hothouse Flowers; classical violinists Gilles Apap and Greg Ewer; Old Time favourites The Foghorn String Band; and renowned Irish bands Dervish\, Solas and Lunasa. His most recent recording is a collaboration with veteran Rock guitarist John Brennan (Poco\, Chris Hillman Band and others). \nHis contribution to music has received formal acknowledgement on both sides of the Atlantic where he has been the recipient of several awards including Ireland’s “Gradam Ceoil” (Traditional Musician of the Year\, 2016)\, and a National Heritage Fellowship\, the USA’s highest honor for excellence in the folk and traditional arts. (Previous National Heritage Fellows include B.B. King\, Doc Watson\, and Bill Monroe.) Kevin has also been honoured by his adopted home state with his induction to the Oregon Music Hall of Fame. \n \nPurchase Advance Tickets Online\nThe concert will be May 17th at 8 pm in our usual and favorite venue\, the Beckman Institute Auditorium.
