Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill In Concert
Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill are two of the world's leading artists in traditional Irish music. Their adventurous, soulful interpretations of traditional tunes are recognized the world over for their exquisite musicality and irresistible rhythm. The New York Times calls them "a Celtic complement to Steve Reich's Quartets and Miles Davis's Sketches of Spain." Their latest CD, Welcome Here Again, captures the chemistry of their duo playing.
Fiddler Martin Hayes, from East County Clare, is considered one of Ireland's most innovative and influential musicians. He was raised in a famous musical family in rural County Clare, and had won six All-Ireland fiddle championships by age 19. Dennis Cahill was born and raised in Chicago to parents from County Kerry, Ireland. He is a master guitarist whose spare, essential accompaniment to Hayes' fiddle is acknowledged as a major breakthrough for guitar in the Irish tradition. The duo has toured throughout the world for almost twenty years including multiple tours to Australia, Japan, Italy, Germany, France, Holland, Scandinavia, Canada, the U.K. and Ireland as well as stops in Hong Kong, the People's Republic of China, Poland and Mexico. Hayes and Cahill have recorded three critically acclaimed albums together on Green Linnet Records. They were the featured performers at the March 17, 2011 annual St. Patrick's Day Congressional Luncheon playing for the President, Vice-President, members of Congress, and the President of Ireland at the Capitol, and that evening at the White House.
In February 2013 the duo performed a "Tiny Desk Concert" for NPR:

Two recent projects have received much attention: Masters of Tradition, an ensemble of seven Irish virtuoisi on tour, based on a festival Martin curates each year in County Cork; and The Gloaming, a new Irish "supergroup" that includes singer Iarla O Lionaird (Afro Celt Sound System) and the New York downtown pianist Doveman (Thomas Bartlett). Their musical explorations have included collaborations with jazz guitarist Bill Frisell, "new grass" duo Darol Anger and Mike Marshall, and the Irish Chamber Orchestra.
"Our allegiance is to the spirit of the moment," says Hayes of their concert appearances. "Our primary wish is that the musical experience be one that lifts our spirits and those of the audience."
