“Blackwater steals the stage!”—-The Coast Star Newspaper.
Sean and Fionna’s extended family. Rivers flow through our land like the storie A dynamic blend of traditional Celtic instrumentation, modern rhythms, and a strong vocal presence form the essence of Blackwater. On their own, each is an accomplished performer; but together, these five friends and musicians create a unique style that is “purely original….unmistakably Celtic….and trad with a twist.” For 18 years, Sean, Alison, Fionna, Tom and Al have been pleasing fans with high energy talent from their home base in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania region. Formed in 1996, the band has released three albums, appeared on many compilation recording projects, performed everywhere from intimate pubs to colleges and universities and main festival stages, and brought their inspired love of their shared music heritage to an ever-growing fan base. The band’s members have a rich tradition in Celtic, folk, classical and contemporary music and have successfully merged those individual influences into a unique and dynamic sound. Striking vocal harmonies, intricate fiddle styles, multi-instrumental talent, and a penchant for compelling rhythms lend the group its tradition-based sound. Original compositions, innovative arrangements, and an all-embracing passion for fun freshen the mix for a show that has been described as “sheer ceili aerobics”. “Energetic stage presence, wicked fiddle skills and lilting vocals!” are the words of another reviewer.
The Blackwater is a river that flows through County Waterford, Ireland, home to s that flow through our music, and we look forward to taking you along for the ride!
