NOCROWS - “Why Us?” CD Launch in December 2016

NoCrows is a dynamic folk orchestra from the multicultural melting pot of Sligo’s music scene. Formed in 2005, NoCrows’ growing output of original material reflects its diverse musical roots, from Irish traditional to latin rumba, classical, jazz, rock and Balkan music.

NoCrows celebrates twelve years of its musical journey in 2017 with a fifth CD, entitled “Why Us?”. The CD will be launched at two special Christmas concerts in Dublin and Sligo, followed by an Irish tour in January and February and subsequent international tours to Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Belgium. The Irish launch dates are:

Monday 19 December 7pm The Steeple Sessions, Unitarian Church, Dublin
Thursday 22 December 7:30pm HMV Soundgarden, Sligo 

NoCrows:

Felip Carbonell – guitar, percussion, voice
Ray Coen – guitar, fiddle, voice
Anna Houston – cello, mandolin, voice
Eddie Lee – double bass, electric bass, voice
Oleg Ponomarev – violin, voice
Steve Wickham – fiddle, mandolin, viola, voice

“Why Us?”, the band’s fifth CD, contains thirteen original musical delights, five songs and eight instrumentals, recorded in Rían Trench’s Meadow studios in Wicklow in September 2016. The band’s most mature recording to date includes compositions by all six members and displays the growing presence of  multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter, Ray Coen. “On this album” says Coen, “we have tried to capture the feel of our live performances, with all six of us recording together in one room. We believe that we have captured the essence of NoCrows on this CD”.
