DALLAHAN In CONCERT: all the way from Scotland to Maine

Deertrees is so excited to have this riveting band of musicians from Scotland returning this summer bringing a mix of their Irish, Scottish, and Hungarian heritage to our stage. This concert promises a unique and seamless musical montage that is as exciting and diverse as it gets. Last year these Scottish fellas were such a crowd favorite that we had to bring them back to Maine! This is a One-Night Only event on Thursday, August 11, at 7:30 PM. Advance reservations recommended. Doors open at 7:00 PM.

Since launching the band in December 2013, DALLAHAN have exploded onto the traditional music scene. Their unique arrangements of original music and traditional Irish tunes and songs have secured their presence at such prestigious international events as Milwaukee Irish Festival in the USA, Copenhagen Irish Festival and Celtic Connections.

DALLAHAN met each other through local sessions in Edinburgh and they are established performers of various musical styles from classical and jazz to Balkan and Celtic. The members of the band have toured extensively with groups as diverse as Kalman Balogh's Gypsy Cimbalom Band, Larsa, Fianna, Samling, Tcha Limberger and they regularly appear at festivals and venues both in the UK and internationally.

As individuals, they have received various awards; Paddy won the 'BBC Young Traditional Musician Of The Year Award 2013', Ciaran won the title of 'All Britain Banjo Champion' in 2006, Jani won 1st prize at the first 'Hungarian Traditional Music Competition' and Jack was recently a finalist in the 'BBC Young Traditional Musician Of The Year Award 2014'.

As a band, they received an 'Emerging Excellence Award' from Help Musicians UK and were recently nominated for Best Up and Coming Artist of the Year at the Scots Trad Music Awards 2014.

DALLAHAN is a breath taking musical journey delivered by award winning musicians that is as much fun to listen to as it is to play.
