Teada Irish Band

Teada Irish Band

Tuesday, March 4, 7:30 – 10pm

Teada returns to Santa Cruz, celebrating 24 years as one of Ireland’s leading traditional bands. The five members of the band are fiddle player Oisin Mac Diarmada, button accordion player Paul Finn, Damien Stenson performs on flute, Samantha Harvey, piano/dance, Sean Mc Elwain who switches between the bouzouki and guitar and bodhran player Tristan Rosenstock. You will undoubtedly recognize fiddler OisAn Mac Diarmada, if you have attended an Irish Christmas In America concert.

A leading exponent of Irish traditional music, Teada is driven by a fascination for the timeless, expressive force of music inherited from previous generations of musicians. An Irish band with a truly worldwide reach, Teada has appeared as a frequent headliner at major music festivals throughout the US, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Africa, Russia, Israel and Australia. Highlights include a 30,000-capacity stadium concert in Brittany, along with performances at Penang World Music Festival in Malaysia, Edmonton Folk Festival in Canada, Harare International Festival of the Arts in Zimbabwe, and the Milwaukee Irish Festival. The group also received an invitation from the Irish Embassy in Rome during 2008 to perform at a commemorative event marking the 400th anniversary of the landmark event in Irish history known as The Flight of the Earls..

With engaging textural arrangements, the Teada Irish Band, which means “strings”, will have you dancing in your seat.
