Long Bio: North Carolina-native violinist/fiddler Andrew Finn Magill is a Fulbright Fellow, North Carolina Arts Council Fellow, All-Ireland fiddle finalist, and 2024 Seifert Jazz violin finalist in Poland. Magill has been featured on PBS, TEDx and multiple times on NPR. His 2016 album, "Roots" debuted at number #46 on the folk DJ charts and he has released seven albums since. Magill grew up studying traditional Irish music, oldtime, bluegrass and swing every summer with the best fiddlers in the world at the Swannanoa Gathering. BBC Folk Musician of the year Martin Hayes calls Magill a “leading fiddler in a new generation of musicians.” Isaac Alderson began playing Irish traditional music as a teenager in Chicago and moved to New York City in 2001, where he has spent years learning from and playing with countless great musicians in the genre. In 2002, at the age of 19, Isaac won the senior All-Ireland championship titles on Irish flute, whistle and uilleann pipes. He has toured and recorded as a member of several well-known bands and ensembles including Eileen Ivers and Immigrant Soul, Comas, Ensemble Galilei, and Runa, among others, and is a founding member of critically acclaimed band, The Yanks. Isaac has worked on two Broadway musicals to date, namely Sting's The Last Ship, and Come From Away, which he performed both on Broadway and on tour as the full-time chair holder for the entire life of the show's first North American touring production. In 2014-2015 he played in the iconic show Riverdance on its 20th anniversary three-month tour of China. He has also performed across the United States and in Canada, Ireland, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, and Colombia. As a teacher, he has led workshops at numerous festivals and gatherings including Catskills Irish Arts Week, the Northeast Tionol, the St. Louis Tionol, Common Ground on the Hill, the DC area's MAD Week, the Corofin Trad Fest, the Portal Irish Music Week, and others. Though he has traveled extensively for many years, Isaac has been proudly based in the Bronx since 2005. Guitarist, bouzouki player and singer Alan Murray hails from Glasgow, Scotland, where he grew up playing the whistle and later guitar and bouzouki. Eventually moving to the United States, he has established himself as an in-demand performer and teacher on the traditional music scene. He has recorded and performed around the world with many of the finest traditional musicians and acts today, including Lunasa, Solas, Eileen Ivers, Battlefield Band, We Banjo 3, and many more.
