One of the most esteemed singer-songwriter and instrumentalists of his generation joins forces with “the hottest Irish band on the planet.” Lunasa was founded in 1997, and with the group’s superb musicianship has brought new energy to the Celtic tradition. An immense talent, one measure of Tim O’Brien’s stature in the music world is the list of artists who perform his songs, including the Dixie Chicks, Garth Brooks, Dierks Bentley, Nickel Creek, and Kathy Mattea. Two Big Room favorites come back to Chico together for a rip-roaring concert nod to St. Patrick.
Named for an ancient Celtic harvest festival in honor of the Irish god Lugh, patron of the arts, Lúnasa is indeed a gathering of some of the top musical talents in Ireland. Its members have helped form the backbone of some of the greatest Irish groups of the decade.
Bassist Trevor Hutchinson was a key member of The Waterboys, and later he, with guitarist Donogh Hennessy, would form the dynamic rhythm section of The Sharon Shannon Band; Ed Boyd (Flook, Michael McGoldrick Band) has recently replaced Hennessy; Fiddler Sean Smyth is an All-Ireland champion who has played with Donal Lunny’s Coolfin; Kevin Crawford, considered to be among the finest flutists in Ireland played with the acclaimed traditional group Moving Cloud; and, piper Cillian Vallely of the famous Vallely artistic clan has performed with Riverdance and recently recorded with Bruce Springsteen. Folk Roots magazine has rightly termed them an “Irish music dream team.”
