"Hayes has one of the most ravishing violin styles in all of Celtic music: the vocal quality of his tone brings an incomparable feeling of warmth to everything he plays. Cahill’s gentle, supportive accompaniment adds precisely the right touch.†-The Los Angeles Times
Martin Hayes has been called the most important Irish fiddler of his generation. He has won every accolade offered an Irish musician, including a 1998 award dubbing him Ireland’s “Best Traditional Artist.†In guitarist Dennis Cahill, Martin has found the perfect foil, a collaborator equally drawn to subtle invention and exploration of his instrument.Live in Seattle, their second recording together, documents their intimate interplay one special evening at the Tractor Tavern. Combining a jazz sensitivity with the potential of a melody with a classicist’s sense of timbre, Martin and Dennis explore the melodies of County Clare in a way unique to Celtic music. From the playful interpretations of classic tunes to an epic twenty-seven minute medley that is the hallmark of their live shows, Live in Seattle puts you in the front seat for new directions in Celtic music.
