Dervish Concert

Join us at The Ashokan Center’s Esopus Performance Hall on Saturday, October 31, from 3:00 to 4:30 PM to see Dervish.

The Guardian newspaper commented: “Dervish are simply brilliant. They carry Irish history with them.” Dervish are one of the biggest names in Irish music internationally, renowned for live performances that pair dazzling sets of tunes with stunning interpretations of traditional songs. Their studio and live albums—13 to date—make up one of the outstanding catalogues in Irish music.

They regularly visit the US, performing sell-out shows from coast to coast, and their fan base stretches across Europe, Asia, and South America. They were the first Irish band to play the world’s biggest music festival, Rock in Rio, performing to an estimated 250,000 people. Over the years, they’ve shared bills with artists such as James Brown, Neil Young, Sting, and Iron Maiden.

In 2018, Dervish were still busy touring internationally and making plans. The band were excited about signing with the renowned US roots label Rounder Records and planned to release their first album on the label in 2018, featuring guest appearances by artists including Vince Gill, Steve Earle, David Gray, and many others.
