AUGUSTaugusT 8-10,8-10T h,2014 2014 irish fesTival Moves To original Mine yard; and adMission is free

The An Rí Rá Montana Irish Festival Aug. 8-10 in Uptown Butte has a couple of new twists this year. First, it moved to the Original Mine Yard, Copper and Main. Second, for the first time in its history, it’s free. Festival Guide July • 2014 • 23 The perforMers include:

SOLAS Solas is the quintessential Irish-American band recording and touring in the U.S. today. Fifteen years ago, in a manner befitting its name (Gaelic for “light”), Solas burst onto the Irish music scene and instantly became a beacon – an incandescent ensemble that found contemporary relevance in timeless traditions without ever stooping to clichés. Anchored by founding members Seamus Egan (flute, tenor banjo, mandolin, whistles, guitars, bodhran) and Winifred Horan (violins, vocals), Solas is rounded out by Mick McAuley (accor- dions, low whistle, concertina, vocals), Eamon McEl- holm (guitars, keyboards, vocals), and newest member and lead singer, Niamh Varian-Barry. Through fresh and unexpected arrangements of age-old tunes, com- pelling and topical originals and covers, and unparal- leled musicianship, Solas continues to define the path for the Celtic music world and drive the genre forward. Its 11th album, “Shamrock City,’’ is the family store of immigration, mining and murder, and the remarkable history of Michael Conway and Butte. www.solasmusic.com

THE MICKEY FINNS TheThe Mickey Mickey Finns Finns have have been been called called the the best best Cec Celtic- Rocktic Rock trio trio in thein the world world by byPaddyRock PaddyRock Radio. Radio. After After releasing two albums and touring the state for years as a trio, The Mickey Finns have expanded the band and their sound on their new album, “Prayers and Idle Chatter.Chatter.” augusT 8-10Th, 2014 www.themickeyfins.com

THE PRODIGALS Simply, they’re “kick ass Celtic Rock.” They’re performed at An Ri Ra previously, and can keep an audience on its feet. www.nyireland.com/prodigalsnyireland.com/prodigals 24 • Festival Guide July • 2014 The perforMers include:

RORY MAKEM Rory Makem was born in Drogheda, County Louth, about an hour north of Dublin. He continues the lin- eage of one of Irish music’s dynasties, begun by their grandmother Sarah Makem, who was sought after by song collectors for her store of traditional Irish songs. His father is Tommy Makem, the modern day Bard of Armagh. Now considered an icon, he helped to bring Irish music out of the corner and into the international spotlight, where it has remained since. www.makem.com

EVANS AND DOHERTY Kevin Evans and Brian Doherty have been an inte- gral part of the East Coast music scene for 30 years. They have been together as Evans and Doherty for 26 years. To capture the essence of an Evans and Doherty performance, take a lively blend of traditional, original and contemporary songs, add a liberal sprin- kling of stories and humor, then sit back and enjoy these fine entertainers. www.evansanddoherty.com

THE ELDERS This six-piece Irish American folk rock band formed in Kansas City, Mo. It has released six albums, and as toured the United States, Ireland and Europe, drawing crowds wherever they go. www.eldersmusic.com
