A benefit concert for KZYX on Saturday, March 10, at Eagles Hall in Fort Bragg, CA.
With a career in Irish music for 35 years, Altan has achieved legendary status for their heartwarming, dynamic live performances and their exquisitely produced, award-winning recordings. They have produced over a dozen releases to date, ranging from the most touching old Irish songs to hard-hitting reels and jigs, sold over a million CDs, and have toured literally all over the world.
The seeds of Altan lie in the music and spontaneity of sessions in kitchens and pubs in their hometown of Donegal, where their music was heard in an atmosphere of respect and intimacy. It is here that the bands heart still lies, whether they are performing on TV in Australia, recording with Dolly Parton in Nashville, or jamming with Ricky Skaggs on the west coast of the United States.
Even after all those years and all those miles, Altan continue fresh in their vision of bringing the beauty and joy of traditional music to audiences everywhere, and have always promised themselves to continue as long as it’s fun – fortunately, it still is! This is an amazing opportunity, as Altan rarely plays such small venues nowadays, and then only for much higher ticket prices. We were able to negotiate an extraordinary deal with their agent.
Tickets ($25) are available at Harvest Market in Fort Bragg; Out of This World in Mendocino; and online at BrownPaperTickets.com/event/3098098 – and you should get yours very soon, because I expect this show will be sold out in advance. Doors open at 6:30 PM. KZYX will have a bar featuring local wines, home-brewed beer and cider.
