Daithi SprouleThe HiBsTwo Irish music CD releases for the price of one! Longtime guitarist for Altan, Daithi Sproule has made his home in the Twin Cities for some years now, but his live performances are all too rare. His latest musical offering The Crow in the Sun is a collection of thirteen original compositions: stunning instrumental guitar tunes, gentle presentations of people and places and the feelings they inspire, and telling the stories that cannot be put into words. The HiBs are longtime stalwarts of the local traditional Irish music scene, headed by Kate (flute and tin whistles) and Jode Dowling (fiddle). The intimacy and depth they bring to their music comes from over 12 years of playing together. They travel the world to learn their music from masters, well-known and obscure, and are renowned for their great respect for the music, their skilled execution, their devotion to teaching, and of course, for their hospitality and great house-party sessions. They'll be celebrating the release of their debut CD The 40-acre Notch.
