Eamon McElholm & Johnny B. Connolly in Concert!

Two Solas members light out as a duo!
Solas members Eamon McElholm and Johnny B. Connolly set out as a duo this fall as that renowned Irish-American group takes a hiatus. Playing side-by-side for the past three years with extensive world-wide touring, the two friends have forged a rare musical connection whether firing on reels and jigs or blending in breathtaking accompaniment to Eamon's brilliant singing.

Eamon's songs will have a chance to be front and center. The County Tyrone artist composes masterful works in both the Irish and American roots traditions, and his songs have been covered by numerous artists, including Solas and his previous band, Stockton's Wing. His guitar playing is first rate as well, and along with Johnny there will be plenty of room for tunes, as well.

Johnny Connolly is a Dublin-born accordionist whose exquisite playing has graced artists from Kevin Burke to Martin Hayes and, since 2014, Solas. Now living in Portland, Oregon, he shines on traditional Irish tunes as well as sparkling French musettes and even the occasional old-timey American.
