Album Notes

Formed in 1996, Blackwater takes audiences on a musical journey through all Celtic lands and styles. The band is equally at home with an achingly beautiful aire, a light and comical ballad or a blistering reel. The performers who comprise this five-piece band are no strangers to the Celtic music scene, particularly in the Northeast. Dynamic vocal harmonies, fiddle, Irish flute and whistles, button accordion, guitars, mandolin, bouzouki, piano, and bodhran lend the group its unmistakably traditional sound. Original compositions and innovative arrangements freshen the mix for a show that has been described as "sheer ceili aerobics!"
