 Solas is one of the most popular, influential, and exciting Celtic bands to emerge from the United States. The band is deeply rooted in Irish traditional music while incorporating new rhythms and syncopation, counterpoint melodies, and original arrangements.
The band was founded by respected acoustic musicians Seamus Egan, who plays flute, tenor banjo, mandolin, whistle, guitar and bodhran, and fiddler Winifred Horan. Mick McAuley from Kilkenny plays accordion and concertina; Eamon McElholm from Tyrone plays guitar and keyboards. Deirdre Scanlan is the band’s newest member, whose beautiful vocals round out the band’s sound. From ancient reels to innovative interpretations of Tom Waits and Bob Dylan, Solas brings instrumental virtuosity and explosive energy to every performance.
