Edition 2 | 2019-2020 COMMUNITY CONCERT HALL 1 2 COMMUNITY CONCERT HALL 4 COMMUNITY CONCERT HALL What a great year for Art and Entertainment. Creativity, whether it’s expressed through music, dance or comedy, is ever-evolving, which means here at the Community Concert Hall there’s never a dull moment. With the ongoing generous support of many individuals and businesses who understand and appreciate the value of the arts to our vibrant community, we are inspired to search for and bring to Durango, artists who entertain, artists who enlighten, and artists who excel in both. I hope you discover something new, something familiar, and something that always brings you back to your Community Concert Hall!

Well that’s not true. The Community Concert Hall is part of the FLC family, and the college does help us keep the doors open, but it is memberships and sponsorships from you- our generous community members and businesses—that allow us to bring the best in the performing arts to Durango. So, simply stated, we need you. Another myth is that ticket prices cover the cost of the shows. They could, if we raised the prices, but it’s our goal to make the performing arts accessible to everyone in the region. So, we work to keep the ticket prices as low as possible. Again, to help keep those ticket prices affordable, we need you. Fort Lewis College does help us maintain the physical structure, and we all know that times are challenging for all educational institutions and the college does a wonderful job of keeping students at the center of its central mission. After 22 years, the Community Concert Hall is almost always busy, and we do want to make sure the hall continues as a venue that’s state-of-the-art and one about which we can all be proud. To continue to serve 40,000 patrons each year, we need you.

  • The High Kings Are Finbarr Clancy, Darren Holden and Brian Dunphy
    The High Kings are Finbarr Clancy, Darren Holden and Brian Dunphy. The High Kings formed in June 2007 when Brian, Darren, Finbarr and former member Martin Furey were asked to join a brand new Irish ballad group by David Kavanagh after he had noticed a gap in the market for a band specialising in traditional Irish music. It didn’t take long during their first studio rehearsal for them to realise that the way their individual voices blended together, that they were onto something special. The High Kings play 13 instruments between them creating the unique sound and atmosphere that they still showcase to this day. This was confirmed when their self-titled debut album reached number 2 on the world Billboard Music chart. In March 2009 The High Kings played 5 consecutive sold out shows to a packed audience in Dublin’s Olympia Theatre. Towards the end of 2009 The High Kings licensed their second studio album ‘Memory Lane’ to Universal Music Ireland signifying the fast trajectory that the band had taken in their short lifespan. ‘Memory Lane’ was released in February 2010 and after a successful Irish tour the album went platinum in June only 4 months after it’s initial release. They followed ‘Memory Lane’ with a ‘Live In Ireland’ album which received critical acclaim as it showcased the energy that the band brings to the live shows. By 2011 the band had out grown the venues they had been previously playing and had to start playing larger venues not only in Ireland but also in America and across Europe.

  • “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of
    “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Dana DeVlieger, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2016 Thesis Committee: Graeme M. Boone, Advisor Johanna Devaney Anna Gawboy Copyright by Dana Lauren DeVlieger 2016 Abstract “Whiskey in the Jar” is a traditional Irish song that is performed by musicians from many different musical genres. However, because there are influential recordings of the song performed in different styles, from folk to punk to metal, one begins to wonder what the role of the song’s Irish heritage is and whether or not it retains a sense of Irish identity in different iterations. The current project examines a corpus of 398 recordings of “Whiskey in the Jar” by artists from all over the world. By analyzing acoustic markers of Irishness, for example an Irish accent, as well as markers of other musical traditions, this study aims explores the different ways that the song has been performed and discusses the possible presence of an “Irish feel” on recordings that do not sound overtly Irish. ii Dedication Dedicated to my grandfather, Edward Blake, for instilling in our family a love of Irish music and a pride in our heritage iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Graeme Boone, for showing great and enthusiasm for this project and for offering advice and support throughout the process. I would also like to thank Johanna Devaney and Anna Gawboy for their valuable insight and ideas for future directions and ways to improve.

  • High Kings 2016 BIOG FINAL
    High Kings Biography - May 2016 There comes a time when the dues have been paid and when the tools of the apprenticeship are neatly stowed away. The craft, and the honing of the craft, continues, but the dust – so to speak – has settled on the ground. Time to move on. Almost ten years ago, four Irish singers, performers and songwriters decided to take a calculated risk. The constituent parts of The High Kings – Finbarr Clancy, Brian Dunphy, Martin Furey and Darren Holden – each had a wealth of history in the music business behind them, but knew that in order to maintain any level of creative interest they would have to boldly go where no other Irish ballad group had gone before. In truth, back in the mid-late Noughties, Ireland needed a group like The High Kings. The heyday of ballad groups such as The Clancy Brothers and The Dubliners was a distant memory for generations of music fans, and to have another bunch of Irish lads taking up the baton and continuing the tradition was great news to thousands of fans worldwide. “We could sing well, play our instruments well and harmonise well,” says Darren Holden, humbly underselling somewhat the numerous skill sets of the individual members. “People were looking for guys with character, presence – not just cardboard cut-outs – so the respective experience we all had wasn't just helpful but essential. The four members immediately knew that something special was taking place (“we knew within the space of a few songs that there was magic”), and within months had clicked as a creative unit as well as friends.

  • The High Kings
    The High Kings The High Kings are an Irish folk group formed in Dublin in 2008 by Celtic Woman manager Dave Kavanagh. The band consists of Finbarr Clancy, Brian Dunphy, Martin Furey and Darren Holden. By February 2014, the group had released three studio albums, one live album, and one DVD. All of their studio albums appeared at number three or higher on the Billboard world music chart, the first two went platinum in Ireland and all their albums charted in Ireland. Coming from accomplished Musical pedigrees, The High Kings grew up in households soaked in the Irish Musical tradition and each member of the band witnessed first hand the power of well crafted Irish music on an audience. Since The High Kings started, they have sold out hundreds of shows, in Ireland and the US, made numerous TV appearances, and achieved platinum status with both albums. Taking some of the classic ballad repertoire from the past and mixing those songs with new and exciting modern songs in the folk idiom, The High Kings are embarking to become the hottest folk and ballad act of the new millennium. For centuries, Ireland was ruled by High Kings. As their reign came to an end, their deeds and stories merged into the world of legend and myth and the High Kings of Ireland were no more except in story, music and song. Until now. Finbarr Clancy, Brian Dunphy, Martin Furey and Darren Holden, renowned vocalists and musicians, have come together to create the most exciting Irish ballad group to emerge since The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem electrified the worldwide folk revival of the 1960s.

However, it was during The High Kings second US tour in 2011 (having graduated from playing small venues to larger halls as they promoted their follow-up album, Memory Lane, which also crashed into Billboard’s World Music chart), that everyone involved realised the fanbase was growing into something that no one had predicted.

  • Boston.Com: “Eire Apparent: the High Kings Come Into Their Own on ‘Memory Lane’”
    Boston.com: “Eire apparent: The High Kings come into their own on ‘Memory Lane’” March 11, 2011 By James Reed ‘Puppets’’ isn’t exactly the right word, but Darren Holden admits it springs to mind when he thinks about the origins of his band. The High Kings, a quartet of strapping men singing hardy Irish ballads with a pop sensibility, were created in 2008, groomed by the same team behind Celtic Woman and geared for the PBS market. As talented as the singers were, they were also the product of someone else’s imagination. “If you look at our ‘Live in Dublin’ [concert DVD], we’re almost choreographed, like a Celtic New Kids on the Block,’’ Holden says about those days. The strangest part was the fact that each of them had diverse backgrounds as established singers and songwriters. Between them, they play 13 instruments, and yet they were often backed by other musicians and their folk repertoire was chosen for them. Holden says they knew that was all part of the plan, but grew disenchanted with it soon enough. “Everything was being done for us at the start,’’ Holden says. “When you’re in a group that’s predominantly for PBS, you kind of look good and sound good and you do what you’re told. I’d say about six months into the whole thing, we were like, ‘No, I don’t want to do this anymore.’ That’s when we started picking up the instruments and said, ‘Can we play?’ It’s heartening, then, to hear the High Kings mature into a more nuanced group on its latest release, “Memory Lane.’’ Again featuring Irish balladry (“Red Is the Rose,’’ “The Irish Rover’’) in contemporary arrangements, the new album also sounds like a fresh start.

  • Examiner.Com: “The High Kings Hold Court at Music Box on Paddy’S Day Eve”
    Examiner.com: “The High Kings hold court at Music Box on Paddy’s Day Eve” March 21, 2016 By Pete Roche The Music Box Supper Club was the place to be Wednesday night for those looking for an early start to their St. Patrick’s Day fun, courtesy Irish super-group The High Kings. The all-star quartet’s March 16th show found the lads supporting their latest studio album, Friends for Life—and the recent concert compilation Four Friends Live. But naturally, the fellows also reached back to their self-titled debut The High Kings (2008) and sophomore effort Memory Lane (2011) for a few sensational sing-alongs, austere originals, classy covers, and tried ‘n’ true traditionals. This boisterous band doesn’t merely pay homage to the golden era of Irish folk (The Dubliners, The Chieftains, The Clancy Brothers); they’re a biological extension of it: Tipperary native Finnbar Clancy is the son of Bobby Clancy (and nephew of Paddy, Liam, and Tom). Dubliner Martin Furey is the offspring of folk legend and master piper Finbar Furey. Kilkenny-born Darren Holden kicked off his entertainment career opening for Belinda Carlisle and The Backstreet Boys. He was a featured vocalist in Riverdance: The Show and later played piano man Billy Joel in Twyla Tharpe’s Tony-winning Broadway production of Movin’ Out. Dublin’s Brian Dunphy—son of ‘60s show singer Sean—also appeared in Riverdance, and garnered further fame as one-third of the Three Irish Tenors (not to mention his stint in the band Druid). All told, the lads play nearly fifteen musical instruments.
