Join us at UNIT B for a fabulous night of original and traditional Celtic and world songs and jams with one of our most popular groups! Hailing from the US and Ireland, Seanchai (shawn-a-key) combines an beautiful and eclectic mix of Celtic and folk music jams. With a line up of guitar, viola and the traditional Irish bodhrán drum (pronounced bow-ron), Seanchai illustrates a landscape of lively melodies and sentimental airs, transporting the listener to the green hills of Ireland and beyond. These are incredible musicians with many improvisational elements.Guitarist and Santa Fe native, TONY BURLING, known from several bands, including 'Fire for the People' and 'Moonthistle'. He now composes epic fantasy sagas on guitar and lays down incredible jams that thrill the soul and warm the heart with their nuance and Celtic groove.Irish songwriter, MARIA SCHIEL, plays the bodrán - the traditional Irish frame drum pronounced 'bow-ran', and sings in both English and Gaelic. Originally from the western coast of Ireland, she travelled four and half thousand miles to live and study in Santa Fe. It is here that she combined forces with Tony and Brayden, and has embarked upon a musical journey of enlightenment - one where she gets to bang out 'the call of home' with Seanchaí!Violist BRAYDEN SCHMICK is originally from Washington State and now lives in Chimayo, NM. As a solo artist he has always loved to explore improvisation and the landscape of sound and now with Seanchaí he gets to fly! Through Seanchaí's music, Brayden and his viola will take you through landscapes, where Washington meets Santa Fe, meets 'Eire'.Dinner and cocktails starting at 5:30 pm. Showtime is 7:00 pm. Reservations highly recommended.
