The founder of the super band ‘Solas’, redefining traditional Irish music
“A Celtic Christmas’ is sure to brighten the darkest midnight.”
It’s hard to think of an artist in traditional Irish music more influential than Seamus Egan. From his beginnings as a teen prodigy, to his founding of Irish-American powerhouse band Solas in 1996, Egan has inspired multiple generations of musicians and helped define the sound of Irish music today and more importantly- to tell its stories, and what season is more about stories than the season of Christmas! Tradition, ritual, and collective memory, all come together in: Seamus Egan’s Good Winter: A Celtic Christmas performed with his amazing Irish band: The Seamus Egan Project.
Songs of the season, original songs, traditional and original music, poetry and spoken word seamlessly weaving together to create an intimate story full of joy, humor, and reverie. Combining fiddle, flute, whistle, guitar, banjo, piano and piano accordion with vocals to raise the rafters in celebration, ‘A Celtic Christmas’ is sure to brighten the darkest midnight. We invite you to “push the old year against the wall and welcome in the new” and celebrate the holiday season.
