Irish Music Duo

Event Rating:
The Doyle/Davis team
Join the Dublin-born John Doyle and Ashley Davis May 14th for a night of Irish Music. Doors will open @6:30pm for socializing and music will begin @7pm.

Dublin-born John Doyle (www.johndoylemusic.com) is universally
recognized as a leader of contemporary Celtic and folk guitarists. His
early fame came from his work with Solas where he created a style of
guitar playing that has since influenced generations of guitarists and
received a Grammy nomination in 2010, for his work with fiddler Liz
Carroll. Now a staple within the Irish and American folk communities,
pairing with such greats as Joan Baez and Mary Chapin Carpenter, you
will find Doyle’s name listed in the liner notes of who’s who in the folk
world. His top-shelf playing is matched only by his songwriting and
story-telling, all essential aspects of a splendid evening of
entertainment. He has 3 solo albums to date that span exceptional
writing to retakes on traditional folk pieces from his native land of
Ireland.
Ashley Davis (www.daisyrings.com) is a rising star within the same
audiences, adding 6 albums to the Celtic canon over the past decade.
As creator of beautiful, lush melodies sung with a gorgeous, romantic
style, Davis has also frequently teamed with current (Sarah Watkins)
and eternal (Paddy Maloney) stars in her popular output. NBC’s Today
Show described her songs and sound as “new music springing from
ancient roots” and was recently named one of the most influential
Irish-Americans under the age of 40 for her work within this field.
The Doyle/Davis team is in its third year. Starting with a 2013
collaboration on the lovely classic “Barbara Allen,” they have blended
both their writing and performing talents on several projects, including
a very popular 2015 Christmas album (“The Christmas Sessions.”)
Together they form one of the most fetching and enjoyable duos in the
American Celtic/folk genre, and never fail to deliver a joyful evening of
songs, smiles and satisfaction.
