Singing lead for Solas now is DEIRDRE SCANLAN, replacing Karan Casey who left last year to pursue a solo career. From Nenagh, County Tipperary, Deirdre is an All-Ireland champion vocalist whose solo debut in 1999, Speak Softly, confirmed her status as one of Ireland's most accomplished singers.
The remaining members of Solas represent musical talent unrivaled in either America or Ireland today. Born in Hatboro, Pa., SEAMUS EGAN won All-Ireland championships on flute, tin whistle, mandolin, and banjo--an unprecedented feat--and more recently wrote a "crisply pulsative score," said Billboard editor-in-chief Timothy White, for the Irish stage show Dancing on Dangerous Ground. New York fiddler WINIFRED HORAN is a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music and was a member of both Cherish the Ladies and the Sharon Shannon Band. Dublin guitarist/singer JOHN DOYLE performed previously with Chanting House and has recorded with Eileen Ivers, James Keane, and Liz Carroll. From Callan, County Kilkenny, MICK MCAULEY plays button accordion, concertina, low whistle, and also sings for Solas, whom he joined in 1997 after touring and recording with Niamh Parsons and Ron Kavana.
