The Gloaming

Combining Irish tunes, ancient sean-nós song, and instrumental explorations over a backbone of spare minimalism, the Gloaming connects deep folk traditions with New York’s contemporary music scene. The group’s traditional sound is anchored by fiddle master Martin Hayes, hardanger innovator Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, guitarist Dennis Cahill, and Irish singer Iarla Ó Lionáird, while indie-rock pianist Thomas Bartlett (Antony and the Johnsons, the National, and Nico Muhly) provides the edge factor.
