Spend an Irish Weekend with the Exiles at RAFFAEL'S AT NANTASKET BEACH
(45 Hull Shore Drive, Hull, MA - 781-925-4515 - http://www.raffaels.com/
), with performances scheduled for Thursday & Friday, March 16th & 17th
presented by JM Productions (http://www.jmproductionspresents.com/
). "The Exiles" play exhilarating, traditional; Irish instrumental dance
music, as well as their own compositions, with vitality and spark. "The
Exiles" features Bob Drouin, on a dizzying array of melodic instruments,
backed by one of the most driving rhythm sections in the business. "The
Exiles" music ranges from sets of high-energy jigs and reels, to delicate
finger picking tunes, to lively traditional songs.
"The Exiles" have been a regularly featured act at O'Leary's,
and at Jacob Wirth's, in Boston, MA. The band has brought their fiddle,
flutes, bodrhans and vocals (and many other instruments) to many venues,
such as the Lowell Irish Festival, the Bread and Roses Festival, the
Lowell Memorial Auditorium, The Elephant and Castle, the Honey Fitz
pub, and for Fiona Shaw and the cast of Dublin's Abby Theater.
Bob Drouin (bouzouki, fiddle, banjo, whistle, flute,
vocals) evokes his deep love for the Irish music tradition. For the
past seven years, he has been anchoring the traditional Irish music
session at Patrick's Pub, in Providence, RI, and he is also a founding
member of the Celtic group, Pendragon.
Jeff Feingold (bodhran, vocals) mid-Atlantic champion
on the Irish drum, was filmed as a guest performer for RTE, the Irish
public television network. Jeff also joined several other musicians
to record original and traditional music for the soundtrack of the
Indie film, "Private Lies" (formerly titled "Bye, Bye America"). Jeff
also founded the Celtic Artists' Network, a traditional music concert
production and promotion company.
Jay Gilbert (guitar, banjo, vocals) has fast become
one of the most highly regarded accompanists in Irish Music in the
New England traditional music scene. In addition to the "backing",
Jay also plays melody, for both traditional tunes and those of his
own composition. Jay has developed an individual style on guitar,
on which his playing is at once strong, precise, and delicate. He
also plays Irish tenor banjo, and he has a rich singing voice. He
sings both lead and backing vocals for "The Exiles".
Cost for show is $30.00 or $50.00 for the show with
dinner. Special Hotel rates are available at the Clarion Hotel (http://www.nantasketbeachhotel.com/
).
