“A concert to blaze in the memory... a band to shroud that music in a fine mizzle of mystery once more.” Sydney Morning Herald
Evocative of the spare serenity of the Irish countryside, the music of The Gloaming is both deeply familiar and consistently surprising. Merging Irish tunes, sean nós (old style) singing and instrumental explorations over a backbone of spare minimalism, these five accomplished musicians – fiddle master Martin Hayes, Hardanger innovator Caoimhin Ó Raghallaigh and singer Iarla Ó Lionaird along with New York pianist Thomas Bartlett and Chicago guitarist Dennis Cahill – carve new paths connecting the Irish folk tradition and New York’s contemporary music scene.
