Description
The Chieftains didn’t single-handedly catapult traditional Irish music onto the international scene, but the iconic band has certainly been the most visible and influential force spreading Celtic culture around the world. Still led by uilleann pipe master Paddy Moloney, the quartet is celebrating 50 years of the soaring melodies and stomping rhythms that define this global phenomenon. With six Grammy Awards, 18 nominations and more than three-dozen albums to the band’s credit, the Chieftains have performed and recorded with a confounding array of artists including Luciano Pavarotti, the Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, Elvis Costello, Natalie Merchant, Willie Nelson, Sting, Rosanne Cash, Ziggy Marley, Lyle Lovett and Madonna. The group’s latest release, Voice of Ages, was produced by music legend T Bone Burnett and features collaborations with a stellar lineup of indie rock artists including The Decemberists, Carolina Chocolate Drops, The Low Anthem and Punch Brothers. For this special evening, the Celtic music giants are joined by traditional Irish stepdancing masters Jon Pilatzke, Nathan Pilatzke and Cara Butler. Join The Chieftans for their golden anniversary — it will surely be one to remember.More Info
