About Bua

Irish Music Awards’ 2009 “Top Traditional Group” is Bua, a quartet comprised of some of the most talented young musicians in the US. Bua plays Irish traditional music with “a precision and intensity that is rarely heard on this side of the Atlantic.” Their sound stands out among modern bands in the genre by “keeping the music down the path of tradition.” Their 2011 release, Down the Green Fields, finds Bua further down that path where the band explores forgotten sounds and inspirations with a blend of enchantingly stark song arrangements and bold, earthy dance tunes. A review of Down the Green Fields, calls it “a testament, from beginning to end, of the lasting essentials of the Irish tradition.” Bua has performed at many of the top Irish and folk festivals in North America including the National Folk Festival, the Milwaukee Irish Festival, the Lowell Folk Festival, the Dublin Irish Festival, Celtic Fest Chicago, the Goderich Celtic Roots Festival, CityFolk, Catskills Irish Arts Week and Bethlehem’s Celtic Classic. Brían Ó hAirt ~ (vocals, sean-nós dance, concertina) Brian Miller ~ (guitar, bouzouki, backing vocals) Sean Gavin ~ (flute, uilleann pipes, whistle) Devin Shepherd ~ (fiddle) www.buamusic.com/band.html.
