A “Through the Looking Glass” Approach to Irish Music ….or….
Fiddler Dana Lyn and guitarist Kyle Sanna first met at a traditional Irish music session in New York City ten years ago. They soon discovered a shared interest in classical, world and experimental music, as well as a deep admiration and respect for Irish music. Both are active participants in Brooklyn’s eclectic music scene as arrangers, composers, players and improvisers. Their collaborative effort, The Hare Said a Prayer to the Rainbow and Followed the Fox Down the Hole, is reflective of their wide range of musical influences and experience. Traditional tunes, original compositions and improvised intermezzi are woven together to create a musical narrative that is both childlike and sophisticated, and full of unexpected twists and turns. Dana Lyn and Kyle Sanna have worked and performed with Susan McKeown, Martin Hayes, The Green Fields of America, Loudon Wainwright and the Walkmen, Edgar Meyer, Chris Thile, and Yo-Yo Ma.
“A very innovative recording – mysterious, playful and charming with some lovely musical surprises. From the excellent musicianship and skillfully fascinating arrangements to the relaxed whimsy of the CD package, the whole project is bursting with creativity, yet still manages to convey a love for simplicity – a remarkable achievement.” – Renowned fiddler Kevin Burke
