BRATTLEBORO — Twilight Music presents an evening of traditional Irish music with a modern edge by the trio McAuley, Horan, O'Caoimh at Hooker-Dunham Theater & Gallery on Friday, May 31, at 7:30 p.m.
Accordionist/vocalist Mick McAuley and fiddler Winifred Horan are both long-time members of Irish-American supergroup Solas, which has recorded 10 albums to worldwide critical acclaim and been praised by the Boston Herald as “the best Irish traditional band in the world.”
The sound of Winifred's fiddle and Mick's accordion have become an integral part of the Solas sound, while the quintet has become one of the most widely successful and highly respected bands in Irish music.
Their first duo album “Serenade” was named one of the Top 5 Irish music albums of 2006 by The Irish Times. Their latest CD with Colm O'Caoimh, “Sailing Back to You” (2012), is a collection of traditional and original songs and high-octane reels and jigs.
