A Musical Performance by Celtic Eclectic Band Saiorse!
Saoirse (Seer-sha, Irish for “freedom”) is a multigenerational (ages 22-77) Celtic eclectic band that has been performing in Albuquerque, in one configuration or another, since 2004. Their music, both vocal and instrumental, is drawn from the various Celtic Nations and their diaspora, and includes modern as well as traditional pieces.
They are inspired by the works of contemporary musicians from Ireland, Scotland, Galicia, and Atlantic Canada. Saoirse has performed at the Rio Grande Valley Celtic Festival, Albuquerque Folk Festival, Albuquerque Renaissance Faire, Wildlife West, and the Edgewood Celtic Festival, as well as numerous concert and club venues throughout Central New Mexico. They have also recorded two CDs, Celtic Eclectic (2007) and Rigs (2012).
Members of the band include Claire Brown (lead vocals, backup guitar), Tessa Frias (cello), Lisa Nichols (flute), Lucy Wang (fiddle), Ryan Merrill (percussion), and John Brinduse (guitar).
