Solas
The Cedar proudly welcomes back contemporary American-Irish band Solas, the same week their brand new album The Turning Tide (Compass) gets released! The new album features a mix of traditional Irish tunes performed with the group's usual impeccable flair and style, and their defining takes on a choice selection of contemporary songs. In for the Solas treatment this time are some heavy hitters: Bruce Springsteen's Ghost of Tom Joad, Richard Thompson's Poor Ditching Boy, and Josh Ritter's Girl in the War. Their extraordinary new vocalist Máiréad Phelan has clearly settled in well, and the group is reaching unscaled heights with this latest project.
“Solas offers a compellingly original, strikingly contemporary view of traditional Celtic sounds.” - Los Angeles Times
