Returning to the Camden Opera House is the ever popular Celtic band Lunasa with Tim O'Brien!  Lúnasa and Tim O'Brien embark on a transatlantic journey exploring the common roots, interplay and mutual influences at the heart of American and Irish music.
Folk Roots magazine has rightly termed Lunasa an "Irish music dream team" as their members comprise the best of the best in recent Irish music. While Grammy® award winning singer-songwriter-instrumentalist Tim O'Brien (called "one of my favorite singers" by Dire Straits frontman, Mark Knopfler) has collaborated with Steven Martin and the Chieftains among numerous others, as well as had his songs recorded by everyone from Garth Brooks to the Dixie Chicks and Nickel Creek.
Lúnasa, described by the Associated Press has as “the hottest Irish acoustic group on the planet,” joins forces with Grammy-winning singer-songwriter-instrumentalist Tim O’Brien (“one of my favorite singers” — Mark Knopfler) in a rich and exciting concert of trans-Atlantic collaboration.
Lúnasa features all-Ireland champions like fiddler Sean Smyth and other world-class players, including veterans of The Waterboys and Donal Lunny’s Coolfin.  O’Brien’s songs have been recorded by the likes of Garth Brooks, the Dixie Chicks, and other Nashville heavyweights.
Together they explore the rich and exciting connection between Appalachian music and its updated Irish ancestry.
