An “Irish music dream team”

Named for an ancient Celtic harvest festival in honor of the Irish god Lugh, LÚNASA was formed in 1997 from members of some of the greatest Irish groups of the previous decade. A review from Folk Roots magazine describing the band as an “Irish music dream team.” With over a quarter of a million records sold, and performances of over 2,500 shows across 36 countries, Lúnasa has won multiple awards and become one of the most influential bands in the history of traditional music.

Lúnasa has collaborated with singers Natalie Merchant, Mary-Chapin Carpenter, and Tim O’Brien. High-profile concerts at The Hollywood Bowl, New York’s Carnegie Hall, Glastonbury Festival and Bercy Arena Paris have helped broaden the band’s audience and cement its place at the forefront of contemporary Irish music.
