<\/a><\/p>\nThe Boston Globe says that Solas is “The finest Celtic ensemble this country has ever produced.”<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of our most popular shows in 2015 was the Acadian-Celtic trio Visht\u00e8n, and if you liked Visht\u00e8n you will love these folks!\u201d said winery owner Jeff Stai. <\/p>\n
A yummy dinner of corned beef and beef brisket sliders with a side salad will be available for purchase, along with yummy Twisted Oak wine, brownies, popcorn, and soft drinks. Concertgoers are welcome to bring their own picnics and non-alcoholic drinks, but we ask that no outside alcoholic beverages be brought in.<\/p>\n
Seating at Twisted Folk concerts is outdoor festival style, first-come, first-served \u2013 bring a low beach-type chair or a blanket. We\u2019re on top of a hill and there is always an evening breeze \u2013 it can get a little chilly after dark so please plan ahead.<\/p>\n
Twisted Oak Winery is located in the foothills of Calaveras County, and specializes in wines made from Mediterranean varieties like Tempranillo, Viognier, and Petite Sirah. We\u2019re also known for being the home of the world-famous \u201cRubber Chicken National Forest.\u201d Our concert venue, located at the winery in Vallecito, sits on a hilltop that commands a sweeping view of the Sierra Nevada and the surrounding foothills, presided over by a 350-year old California Blue Oak that graces the label of every wine we bottle.<\/p>\n
Band Bio:<\/p>\n
2016 marks the 20th Anniversary of the quintessential Irish-American band, Solas. Formed in 1996, in a manner befitting their name (Gaelic for “light\u201d), Solas burst onto the Irish music scene and instantly became a beacon \u2013 an incandescent ensemble that found contemporary relevance in timeless traditions. <\/p>\n
11 albums later, with numerous awards to their credit, and more miles traveled touring the world to count, Solas will mark this milestone with a exciting new recording project and tour, ALL THESE YEARS. It is a celebration of a band that, from its inception, captured the musical world\u2019s attention and went on to become one of the most influential groups in the history of Irish music. ALL THESE YEARS sees Solas reuniting with all the members of the band, past and present, to record new material and embark on a year long world tour. <\/p>\n
Indeed, it can be convincingly argued that no band has done more than Solas to prove that Celtic music today is a truly universal musical language, like jazz, classical, rock, or bluegrass. The band\u2019s sound is explosive yet seductively personal; timelessly melodic yet rippling with modern muscle. It can bring edgy urban hipness to ancient reels, and make songs by Tom Waits and Bob Dylan feel like they\u2019ve been aging for centuries in the sweet old casks of Celtic tradition. Through fresh and unexpected arrangements of age-old tunes, compelling and topical originals and covers, and unparalleled musicianship, Solas continues to define the path for the Celtic music world and drive the genre forward. <\/p>\n
From their early days with singer Karan Casey, to the present lineup featuring Moira Smiley on vocals, Solas’ ALL THESE YEARS demonstrates the evolution of a band the New York Times hailed for their \u201c\u2026..unbridled vitality\u201d, and the Boston Globe declared to be \u201cthe finest celtic ensemble this country has ever produced\u201d. Solas\u2019 20th Anniversary Project celebrates their remarkable past while demonstrating why they continue to be one of the most popular, influential, and exciting bands ever to emerge over the past two decades. <\/p>\n
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see founding members and Solas stalwarts Seamus Egan and Winifred Horan bring the past, present, and future of the band to the stage, with a program sure to delight audiences with old favorites and with new material that lights the way forward.<\/p>\n
