Magically contemporary yet timeless, this Irish-American super group is a lightning rod of talent and inspiration, electrifying crowds of all musical tastes. Since blasting onto the world stage in 1996, Solas has been trumpeted as “the first truly great Irish band to arise from America,” (Boston Globe) and ranked among the “most exciting bands anywhere in the world” (Irish Echo). As proven with its latest great release, The Turning Tide, this band has the raw instrumental virtuosity, the wild grace and the dynamic vocal blend to bring you to your feet.

With ten albums under their belt, Solas' band leader Seamus Egan was inspired by his family history to create Shamrock City - their most ambitious project to date. Shamrock City tells the story of Butte, MT, a mining town at the turn of the 20th century, as seen through the eyes of an Irish immigrant and Seamus' great-great uncle, Michael Conway. With an EP of five songs as well as visuals and stories incorporated into the live show, fans will get a taste of the full album, to be released in early 2013.
