We are delighted to welcome this award-winning Irish band, a quartet of young Americans from the Midwest who are quickly rising to the top of the Irish music scene. Bucking the current trend towards "anything goes" fusion, Bua -- Gaelic for 'victory' -- focuses firmly on the best in Irish traditional styles, evoking the sounds of the Bothy Band, Planxty and Altan while adding their own youthful twist. Brian's highly lauded sean-nos (old style) singing and danceable concertina playing are complemented by Sean Gavin's ornate, driving flute and uillean pipes and Devin Shepherd's rich and sophisticated fiddling style, all supported by Miller's impeccable guitar and bouzouki. Together they produce a sound infused with what one critic calls "a precision and intensity rarely heard on this side of the Atlantic."
