Tradition Now: Sam Amidon Extended Ensemble & Sounds Like Freedom
Tradition Now takes a unique look at progressive traditional music in a fast-moving Ireland, providing a platform for the most forward-thinking artists playing today.
A special double-bill that sees protest song, traditional music and jazz collide. Genre-bending multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Sam Amidon presents a highly unpredictable programme of his own music with a cast of improvising musicians. We are delighted to welcome guitarist Marc Ribot to the ensemble for this performance. Ribot recently released Songs of Resistance. He set out to assemble a set of songs that spoke to this political moment with appropriate ambition, passion, and fury.
Niall Vallely unveils his new project with NYC power jazz combo, Harriet Tubman.
