Dervish, one of the world’s most creative interpreters of Irish folk music and recently
recognized with a BBC Lifetime Achievement Award, have confirmed they are
planning to release a brand new album later this year. Having devoted the last three
decades to gently reinventing the traditional songs of their homeland, Dervish were
widely celebrated in 2019 for their album The Great Irish Songbook which featured such
luminaries as Vince Gill, David Gray, Rhiannon Giddens, Steve Earle, and many other
stellar guests hear Dervish on Weekend Edition on NPR here

tradition-with-the-great-irish-songbook
Dervish's founding members were childhood friends in County Sligo, the same creatively
fertile region that spawned a group of legendary fiddle players who emigrated to the U.S.
in the 1920s, then recorded the first known Irish-music albums of any genre. As young
musicians in 1989, the band members were commissioned to record an album of music
from the renowned Sligo tradition. Despite a feverish response from all around the world,
Dervish turned down record-deal offers and launched their own label and career,
releasing their sophomore effort Harmony Hill in 1993, immediately seeing the album
climb the Irish mainstream charts. The band have since released 14 albums on their own
labeland in recent years they have been working with Rounder Records and the Concord
Music Group in Nashville.
Through the years, Dervish has appeared at some of the world's biggest festivals, from
Glastonbury in the UK to Paleo in Switzerland to Rock in Rio , with the "great and good"
of the entertainment industry while steadily making their name as of the foremost
purveyors of Irish folk music of their generation.
Along with Guinness, Jameson and Kerrygold butter, one of Ireland’s greatest
exports may be Dervish, a dazzling Irish traditional band described by one reviewer
as “the most compelling, most soulful Irish traditional folk band playing
today.” Denise Foley Irish Philadelphia
