For the past 20 years, Solas (pronounced Suh-less) have held the torch of Irish-American roots music high, traveling the world as the premiere band of their generation. They’ve inspired countless artists, redefined how we think of Irish music, and created a sound that’s remarkably cohesive across eleven albums and a legacy of some of the best Irish vocalists. In a way, Solas can be seen as the Los Lobos of Irish-American music. Like Los Lobos, they emerged from deep in the tradition but have spent years pushing the boundaries as far as possible, bringing stunningly virtuosic instrumental abilities, carefully chosen songs from many sources, and a far-ranging vision of their musical arrangements to create a continually reinvigorated sound. Now in 2016, Solas is bringing together everyone who’s been in the band over these 20 years for an all-star, one-time lineup on this new album, All These Years. With their newest album, Solas plants the flag for Irish-American music.
