MARCH 28: CILLIAN VALLELY, KEVIN CRAWFORD AND DÓNAL CLANCY
Two members of the instrumental supergroup Lúnasa – Clare flute player Kevin Crawford and Armagh uilleann piper Cillian Vallely – will join Waterford guitarist Dónal Clancy of the band Danu for this concert.  This is a powerhouse trio who could form a world-class band all by themselves, and it will be a rare treat to see three such renowned performers in the intimate setting of Glucksman Ireland House. 
Note:  Tiarnán Ó Duinnchinn and Stephanie Makem, originally scheduled to perform at this show, have had to cancel their U.S. tour plans.  We hope to present them at a future date.

APRIL 18: DANA LYN, TINA LECH AND DONNA LONG 
The curiosity factor is definitely in play when two female, Asian-American fiddlers team up to play Irish music, but Dana Lyn and Tina Lech are the real deal, combining solid technical mastery of their instrument with a deep understanding of Irish traditional style. Dana is a California native who has toured with Mick Moloney’s Green Fields of America group and with singer Susan McKeown. She has made several recordings, including her own Looking for the Early Opener, and was included in the compilation Live at Mona’s. Tina is a North American Irish fiddle champion who has toured with Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance troupe and is one of the leading Irish fiddlers in Boston. Dana and Tina, who have performed together on Irish television, will be accompanied for this concert by Baltimore-based piano great Donna Long, a veteran of the Cherish the Ladies ensemble.

MAY 16: TONY DeMARCO
New York fiddler Tony DeMarco will celebrate the release of his new Smithsonian Folkways recording The Sligo Indians. A Brooklyn native of mixed Italian and Irish descent, Tony is a master of the intricate ornamentation, swinging rhythm and profuse melodic improvisation that characterize the famed County Sligo fiddle style. Tony was mentored in the style by the late, great Paddy Reynolds and recorded an acclaimed duet album with his fellow New York fiddler Brian Conway in 1979. For the past two decades he has been at the center of the Irish session scene in New York and The Sligo Indians is a very long-awaited solo debut for one of America’s finest folk fiddlers.
