Drawing on Ireland and Scotland's rich heritage of traditional dance tunes, ballads, and slow airs, Pale, Stout & Amber captures this music in all of its austere beauty and savage soulfulness. Masterful fiddling in rich conversation with the Irish bouzouki are at the core of their sound. But expect to encounter guitar, mandolin, viola, whistle, bodhran and compelling vocalizations. Wherever they perform, Pale, Stout & Amber mixes story and song with history and personal experience, taking listeners on a journey not only across the Atlantic Ocean, but also deep into the roots of Appalachian and Bluegrass music.
