SUMMARY:Seamus Egan Project
DESCRIPTION:It's hard to think of an artist in traditional Irish music more influential than Seamus Egan. From his beginnings as a teen prodigy\, to his groundbreaking solo work with Shanachie Records\, to his founding of Irish-American powerhouse band Solas\, to his current work as one of the leading composers and interpreters of the tradition\, Egan has inspired multiple generations of musicians and helped define the sound of Irish music today.\n\nAs a multi-instrumentalist\, he's put his mark on the sound of the Irish flute\, tenor banjo\, guitar\, mandolin\, tin whistle\, and low whistle\, among others. As a composer\, he was behind the soundtrack for the award-winning film The Brothers McMullen\, co-wrote Sarah McLachlan's breakout hit\, "Weep Not for the Memories\," and has scored numerous documentaries and indie films since. As a bandleader\, Solas has been the pre-eminent Irish-American band of their generation for the past 20 years\, continuously renewing Irish music with fresh ideas\, including a collaboration with Rhiannon Giddens on their 2015 album. As a performer\, few others can make so instruments or such wickedly complex ornaments seem so effortless.
