Runa plays Celtic music at The Cooperage

Posted

HONESDALE, PA — Runa will return to The Cooperage, 1030 Main St. Doors will open at 7 p.m. and the show will start at 7:30 p.m.

Runa is a Philadelphia-based Celtic roots band that is quickly gaining recognition as one of Irish music’s new “super-groups.” By drawing on the diverse musical backgrounds of its band members, Runa is able to push the boundaries of traditional Irish folk music to offer contemporary Celtic material.

The band consists of vocalist and step-dancer Shannon Lambert-Ryan of Philadelphia; Dublin-born guitarist Fionán de Barra; Cheryl Prashker of Canada on percussion; Dave Curley on mandolin, vocals, bodhrán and step-dancing; and Maggie Estes of Kentucky on the fiddle.

Members of RUNA have played with Solas, Riverdance, Slide, Clannad, Fiddlers’ Bid, Moya Brennan, among others. The group has been honored internationally, winning Top Group and Top Traditional Group in the Irish Music Awards and an Independent Music Award for Best World/Traditional Song.

The suggested donation is $15 at the door. BYOB. For more information visit www.thecooperageproject.org or call 570/253-2020.
