Craicmore,
a contemporary, traditional Celtic band rooted in the music
of Scotland and Ireland, features the critically acclaimed
vocals of contralto Nancy Johnston. Her deep, rich, "velvety
voice" is rare in a genre most often sung in the soprano
range. Driving rhythms from guitar, bass, Bohdran drum,
conga, and other percussion, along with high-spirited
whistles, flutes, and pipes, powerfully render jigs & reels,
the dance music of Ireland. Clear
vocal harmonies support songs of love and courting from the
Celtic lands. Rhythmic hardshoe dancing, an East Indian
Shruti Box, and rumbling Didjeridoo, all accent the warmth
and passion of CRAICMORE's fiery performances.
