DULAHAN
Dulahan( pronounced Dool- la-hon) is a 4 member Irish –American group that features powerful 3 and 4 part vocal harmony accompanied by a variety of traditional acoustic Celtic instrumentation .
With each member of the band playing multiple instruments and singing, Dulahan has the ability to reenergize old classics and at the same time uniquely brand their own original sound.
The fresh new sound they have created pays homage to the classic artists of the genre while subtly incorporating contemporary vocal harmony arrangements.
This hybrid sound has allowed Dulahan to connect with fans of traditional Celtic music along with listeners new to the energy , emotion and history of this music .
Their original music remains the strength and core of the Dulahan sound . Led by the songwriting of founding member Kyle Aughe , this 3rd release from Dulahan continues to highlight the tight vocal harmonies and well crafted songs that are the bands trademark. Although the bands original songs cover much ground within the genre , they all remain true to the feel and style of the Dulahan sound .
From the melancholy title cut to the irreverent We Were Over Served , Blink of an Eye offers fans of contemporary celtic music a fresh new sound .
