The duo has just finished their album, "The Boys of 25". Advance tickets are on sale for $25, youth 18 and under receive free admission. Seán Gavin is one of the most highly regarded Irish musicians of his generation. Master uilleann piper and flute player, he is the first and only musician born outside Ireland to win the prestigious Seán Ó Riada Gold Medal. Seán has toured with the groups Bua and Téada, both have gleaned top praise from Irish music critics. He was Musical Director for the PBS program “I Am Ireland”, and for the long running Atlantic Steps. Accordion wizard Colm Gannon’s playing is as vibrant and beautiful as the Connemara hills. Born in Boston of Connemara parents, he learned his music from his father and brother Sean. He has many recordings to his credit and is widely recognized as one of the young masters of the tradition. Colm has studied and lectured on the connections between American culture and Irish music, and the history of Irish music, particularly in Connemara, focusing on accordion players of the last century.“The Boys of 25” is an excellent album and one that deserves a spot in the collection of every traditional music fan. Gavin and Gannon are superb musicians and this album, from its selection to its execution, is evidence of their excellence. Highly recommended! Daniel Neely/ The Irish Echo
