Since its 1997 formation, Lúnasa has been one of contemporary Irish music’s leading voices. Best known for its complex arrangements and unique sound, the group has reshaped the boundaries of traditional music and energized audiences the world over. With over a quarter of a million records sold, more than 2,000 performances and members from some of Ireland’s greatest bands, the group is an “Irish music dream team,” according to Folk Roots Magazine.
The band is bassist Trevor Hutchinson; uilleann piper and whistle player Cillian Vallely (he’s played with Bruce Springsteen and Riverdance); exceptional flute, whistle and bodhran player Kevin Crawford; acoustic guitarist Ed Boyd; and award-winning and virtuosic fiddler Colin Farrell.
