CONCERTS AT THE NEW YORK IRISH CENTER

Will Woodson (flute, uilleann pipes) and Cait Finley (fiddle) play sparky and driving traditional Irish music that’s grounded in the textures and rhythms of the rich Irish American soundscape. Based now in Maine, they have roots in the living Irish musical cultures of Boston, New York City, and Philadelphia, and a tremendous admiration for the music of the Irish dance halls, vaudeville theaters and house sessions of the first half of the twentieth century. Their latest recording, Once Through the Hall, is a glorious collection of unaccompanied tunes on pipes, flute and fiddle. Irish Echo writer Dan Neely called their debut album, The Glory Reel, “a fabulous album from three of Irish America’s finest.” During the pandemic years, the two made The Phonograph Project, a Patreon-supported series examining 78 rpm recordings of traditional Irish music made in New York City. More recently, they’ve made musical appearances at the St. Louis Tionól, the Patrick J. Touhey Memorial Weekend in Boston and the Ward Archives “Archiving Irish America” conference in Milwaukee.
