Hanz Araki ~ Celtic Flute with Stuart Mason & Colleen Raney
Award-winning traditional Irish flute player and singer Hanz Araki will be joined by singer and bodhrán player Colleen Raney, and guitarist Stuart Mason for an exclusive run of shows in Northern California in late February 2015. Recently called "An Irish Music phenomenon in West Coast America" by Irish Music Magazine, Araki is known for his uncluttered and honest approach to traditional Irish and Scottish music.
Hanz Araki, whose full name is Hanzaburo after his grandfather's grandfather, is the 6th generation of his family to earn the title of Kodo Araki, a grand master of the shakuhachi. While he honed his musical ability perfecting the traditions of his father's family, his love of the music of his Irish mother's family lead to a career in Irish music that spans twenty-five years and has produced multiple award-winning albums and international accolades.
His critically acclaimed new album Foreign Shore, his eleventh release, is a collection of songs and tunes from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, New Zealand, and America that illustrates the path of the music and the tradition as it straveled, as Araki's forbearers did, from homeland to new home. Hanz Araki faithfully showcases the inherent beauty of traditional Irish music with performances that are inspired, detailed, and authentic. www.hanzaraki.com

COLLEEN RANEY bodhrán, vocals
Portland, Oregon's Colleen Raney is a gifted traditional singer who recently released her fourth album, titled Here This is Home which was produced by guitarist, singer, and producer Aidan Brennan and engineered by Trevor Hutchinson over the summer of 2013 in Dublin, Ireland. Among the finest interpreters of traditional songs of her generation, Colleen Raney grew up inspired by the Irish and Scottish songs and tunes in the rich Irish community in Seattle. Her four solo CDs have staked her claim as a serious presence in Irish music today and provoked Hearth Music to enthuse, "Singing with a deep love for the tradition and the dark poetry of Celtic song, Colleen has been drawing new life from old ballads and renewing our love for Irish music." www.colleenraney.com

He has won awards for traditional singing (Goleta Old-Time Fiddler's Convention), mandola (Topanga Banjo and Fiddle Contest), and songwriting (West Coast Songwriters Association). He is a member of international touring Celtic band Molly's Revenge, and has performed at festivals in China, Scotland, Ireland, and across the United States. He also tours with old-time bluegrass band Little Black Train and Celtic folk band Story Road, and performs with the Old-Time Fiddle and Banjo Show. www.stuartmasonmusic.com
