Solas is celebrating thirty years of honoring tradition and pushing musical boundaries!
Hailed by The Boston Globe as “the finest Celtic ensemble this country has ever produced” and praised by The Wall Street Journal as “an Irish traditional band bearing all the marks of greatness,” Solas has set new standards for Irish music since their formation in New York City in 1995. As a dynamic force in the Celtic music scene, Solas quickly became a lightning rod of talent and inspiration, raising the bar for musicianship, repertoire, and performance intensity.
