Lunasa and Tim O’Brien embark on a transatlantic musical journey exploring the common roots, interplay and mutual influences at the heart of American and Irish music at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Kahilu Theatre in Waimea.
Luunasa features all-Ireland champions like fiddler Sean Smyth and other world-class players, including veterans of The Waterboys and Donal Lunny’s Coolfin. Grammy winning Tim O’Brien’s songs have been recorded by the likes of Garth Brooks, the Dixie Chicks, and other Nashville heavyweights.
Together they will explore the rich and exciting connection between Appalachian music and its updated Irish ancestry.
Lunasa will also give a Youth Show at the theater at 10:30 a.m. that morning. For more information about the Youth Show, contact Education Coordinator Lisa Shattuck at youth@kahilutheatre.org.
