Traditional band has toured the world

[view:node_ad=5]One of Ireland's tradition-rooted bands, Dervish, with its combination of virtuosic instrumentation, high-energy arrangements and ultra-sweet vocals, will be playing at Cal State Northridge on Saturday.

 

Featured at the Plaza del Sol Performance Hall on Saturday, October 13 at 8 p.m., these elements will be drawn together by vocalist Cathy Jordan’s masterful stage presence.  Her stories to the songs and interaction with the audience draw people to the music in a way very few performers can achieve. “The musical integrity makes the group a formidable heir to the throne…of The Chieftains” international space… Simply a brilliant and uncluttered testimonial to music imagination and talent,” says the Irish Times.

 

Formed in1989 by a group of five musicians, now seven, Dervish has entertained numerous times at the White House, and has successfully toured every corner of the globe.
