Saturday, March 17, 2012 (8:00 pm - 10:00 pm) Part of the One Stage Series
Pop-rock influenced traditional Irish

Four funny, high-spirited, musically-obsessed sisters with the good fortune to have been raised in the magic of Bundoran in County Donegal, Ireland. After starting as Sinead O'Connor's back-up band, appearing on David Letterman, the sisters soon went out on their own. They recorded with Peter Gabriel and were backing vocalists on Joni Mitchell's "Magdalene Laundries" and on the Chieftains' "Tears of Stone" album. While they never forget their roots in traditional Irish music, the Orphans draw from a diverse set of influences, from Simon & Garfunkel to REM, with a strong focus on melody-driven songs with pop and rocks strains. Their sound has been compared to, "the Bangles meet the Cranberries with a touch of Indigo Girls."
