Solas: Shamrock City
Wednesday, June 25th 8pm
Join Solas, "Irish America's most influential band" (NPR's The Thistle and Shamrock) as
they celebrate the release of Shamrock City, their 11th album and most ambitious project
& multi-media live show to date. A family story of immigration, mining and murder, and the
remarkable history of Michael Conway & Butte, MT, Kim Ruehl of FolkAlley.com calls it
"a deeply thoughtful, imaginative collection of songs which grapple with the wealth of ideas
and emotions inherent in the immigrant journey". Dubbed "Celtic music royalty", this is a
not-to-miss Beaver Island opportunity (according to Beaver Island's own Kevin Greene)!
"Solas populates their newly-minted, wily western landscape with gamblers, drinkers
and women...a richly-textured musical backdrop that could be a first- cousin-once-removed
of Springsteenâ??s The Seeger Sessions." - Siobhan Long, The Irish Times
