A Field Trip!

Greetings my dear friends of Celtic Music– I hope you’ve been having a great summer! Celtic Music Night at St Andrew, will return to Aptos this fall, but in the mean time, if you need a grand fix of high-octane traditional music, I am extremely proud to announce the new CD release concert for our Scottish band, THE FIRE, NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT, August 14th — We invite you to downtown Santa Cruz to help us celebrate the highly anticipated full-length album: “Radiance”. See below!!
The Fire, Scottish Band

New Album Radiance!
8/14 Santa Cruz — at The Kuumbwa Jazz Center — 7:30pm

The Fire is a high energy pure-drop Traditional Scottish music trio, with world class fiddling in combination with bagpipes, guitar, bodhran, whistle, and bouzouki. The group includes, International Scottish Fiddle Champion Rebecca Lomnicky on fiddle, multi-instrumentalist David Brewer of the popular Celtic band Molly’s Revenge on whistle, bagpipes and bodhran, and Adam Hendey on guitar and bouzouki.

On August 14th, The Fire will release their new 14 track album, Radiance. The collection of tunes on Radiance draws from a variety of Scottish fiddle manuscripts, bagpipe music collections, and the pen of all three band members. Over the last year The Fire has compiled, arranged, and recorded dozens of tunes which range from a scotch-measure published in the first collection of Scottish fiddle tunes in 1700, to a bagpipe anthem, to a medley of contemporary original tunes.

To celebrate the release of Radiance, The Fire will hold an Official CD Release Concert sponsored by the Celtic Society of the Monterey Bay on August 14th at Kuumbwa Jazz Center in downtown Santa Cruz, CA. The band will perform a full length concert open to the public and CDs will be available for sale.

Amazing musicians Shelley Phillips and Jesse Autumn will be adding to your arrival to the Kuumbwa, performing music in the court yard before the concert as well!
