Traditional Irish Band The Ivy Leaf Celebrates CD Release at Blue May 30, 2012
The Ivy Leaf is a young traditional Irish quartet that came together through the Boston session scene. Featuring fiddles, flute & whistle, concertina, vocals and bouzouki and guitar accompaniment, the group’s influences are a blend of the old and new, taking on centuries old dance music and giving it a modern vigor. Among their influences are many of the local musicians who define the sound of Irish music in Boston and Providence.
