Irish virtuoso fiddle player and Chicago born guitarist, Martin Hayes & Dennis Cahill have reached almost cult status on the international music scene. Their legions of followers are consistently drawn to their unspeakably beautiful and arousing music. Their concerts world-wide are sold out to enchanted audiences already familiar with their compelling sound and those they have brought upon whom the same spell will undoubted be cast. Their music is a pure distilled art, drawing on the slow, lyrical traditoins of Hayes' native East Clare, the intensity of classic blues, the elastic tonalities of jazz, as well as Cahill's innovative finger-picking style. Their unique approach to traditional Irish music is said to have re-defined the genre taking inot the wider musical field where it's sheer brilliance is commanding respect across the broad spectrum and into the mainstream.
