Saoirse, Albuquerque's finest 'Celtic-Eclectic' band, plays a mix of traditional and new Scottish, Irish, and progressive music. Complimentary vocals, along with a richly layered mix of flutes, fiddles, pipes, guitars, dulcimers, banjos, mandolins and Bodhrans, make Saoirse an enjoyable listening experience, and a great introduction the power and beauty of the Celtic musical tradition. Don't miss this Southwestern favorite!

Saoirse (Seer-shih), in Gaelic, means 'Freedom'.

2009 News

-- Kim Colman and Sandra Sullivan, of the McTeggart School, danced with us at the Rio Grande Folk Festival. The knocked it out of the park with their rendition of Reel Around the Sun and The Countess Kathleen from Riverdance.

-- Saoirse has returned to the studio as of May 2009, and are working on our second CD. We are recording again at Sanctuary Sound, with Lee Padilla as our engineer.

-- Glen Maxwell visited from Kosovo, and presented us with the infamous banner and t-shirts. We learned that spelling is not Glens strong point-- and we are thinking of changing our name to reflect Kosovo spelling. Awesome. Glen is on sabbatical in Kosovo and working as a police officer/trainer for the EU.

-- Suzanne Taichert has joined Saoirse as keyboardist and vocalist.

-- David Masceranas has rejoined Saoirse as our percussionist.
