Dervish

Tickets: $22-$32
From Sligo in Northwest Ireland, Dervish has long stood at the forefront of traditional Irish groups. Featuring the hauntingly charismatic vocals of Cathy Jordan and the dazzling virtuosity of award-winning instrumentalists Tom Morrow on fiddle, Liam Kelly on flute, and Shane Mitchell on accordion, Dervish built its foundation in legendary pub sessions and refined its shape with years of international touring. The solid rhythm playing of Brian McDonagh and Michael Holmes drives the… Show more band, whose concert performances are a myriad of tones and moods ranging from high energy tunes, played with fluidity and intuitiveness, to beautifully measured songs, from charming lyrics of life and love, to inspiring melodies that lift audiences from their seats. All the elements of Dervish's music are drawn together by Cathy Jordan's masterful stage presence. Her stories to the songs and her interaction with the audience draws people into the music in a rare and intimate way.
"The musical integrity makes the group a formidable heir to the throne abandoned by The Bothy
Band, if not a serious contender for The Chieftains' international space....Simply a brilliant and
uncluttered testimonial to music imagination and talent." -- The Irish Times
