Description

This is a real coup as The Seamus Egan Project has only one free date on the way back from headlining at Celtic Connections.

Seamus Egan is a multi-instrumentalist who has put his mark on the sound of the Irish flute, tenor banjo, guitar, mandolin, tin whistle, and low whistle, among others. As a composer, he was behind the soundtrack for the award-winning film The Brothers McMullen, co-wrote Sarah McLachlan's breakout hit, Weep Not for the Memories, and has scored numerous documentaries and indie films since.

As a bandleader, Solas (which Seamus co-founded) has been the pre-eminent Irish-American band of their generation for the past 20 years, continuously renewing Irish music with fresh ideas, including a collaboration with Rhiannon Giddens on their 2015 album.

As a performer, few others can make so instruments or such wickedly complex ornaments seem so effortless.

Seamus Egan teams up with Kyle Sanna (guitar), Owen Marshall (guitar/mandolin/banjo) and Lúnasa's Trevor Hutchinson.
