AltanNo Irish traditional band in the last dozen years has had a wider impact on audiences and music lovers throughout the world than Altan. With their exquisitely produced award-winning recordings, ranging dynamically from the most sensitive and touching old Irish songs all the way to hard hitting reels and jigs, and with their heartwarming, dynamic live performances, Altan have moved audiences from Donegal to Tokyo to Seattle. Throughout, there has been the unwavering commitment of the band to bringing the beauty of traditional music, particularly that of the Donegal fiddlers and singers, to contemporary audiences in a way that brings out all its qualities and destroys none. In fact, Altan have always believed that Irish traditional music is a modern music in every sense and its growing influence and popularity have proved them right.
The lineup for the evening will feature the lovely vocals and fiddle of Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh, Ciaran Tourish on fiddle, tin whistle, and backing vocals, Dermot Byrne on button accordion and melodeon, Ciaran Curran on bouzouki and bouzouki guitar, and the Twin Cities' own Daithi Sproule on guitar and vocals.
