Altan in Concert

Irish Supergroup Altan will perform a benefit concert for our local public radio station KZYX on Saturday, March 10, at Eagles Hall in Fort Bragg, CA.

With a career in Irish music for 35 years, Altan has achieved legendary status in a genre that has been equally shaped by the bands influence and genius. Audiences from Ireland to Japan to Australia to Europe have embraced their heartwarming, dynamic live performances and their exquisitely produced, award-winning recordings. Over a dozen releases to date, ranging from the most touching old Irish songs to hard-hitting reels and jigs.

The seeds of Altan lie in the music and spontaneity of sessions in kitchens and pubs in their hometown of Donegal, where their music was heard in an atmosphere of respect and intimacy. It is here that the bands heart still lies, whether they are performing on TV in Australia or jamming with Ricky Skaggs on the west coast of the United States. In spite of a hectic touring and recording schedule, Altan continue fresh in their vision of bringing the beauty and joy of traditional music to audiences everywhere, and have always promised themselves to continue as long as its fun fortunately, it still is!

KZYX will have a bar featuring local wines, home-brewed beer and cider.
