Renowned Irish Fiddler Kevin Burke Returns

A founding member of several renowned and influential groups (Open House, Patrick Street, The Celtic Fiddle Festival) Irish Fiddler Kevin Burke has been at the forefront of traditional music since the 1970’s. His contribution to music has received formal acknowledgement on both sides of the Atlantic where he has been the recipient of several awards including Ireland’s “Gradam Ceoil” (Traditional Musician of the Year, 2016), and a National Heritage Fellowship. Kevin has also been honoured by his adopted home state with his induction to the Oregon Music Hall of Fame . Whether solo or accompanied, on record or in concert, Burke is an immensely engaging performer, and has retained his love for solo fiddle music – the “naked fiddle” as he himself sometimes puts it. SFS is thrilled to welcome Kevin Burke back to our stage for a night of sublime solo Irish fiddle!!
