The Iron Horse presents the "Artists Posing in Front of Wood" Concert Series.

John Cruz, Hawaiian singer-songwriter with local roots, plays Iron Horse tonight. Jackson Browne plays the Calvin in April but tonight at the Iron Horse please join us for a sure-to-be-awesome gig from John Cruz, who recorded his new album "One of These Days," at Cruz fan Browne's private studio in Los Angeles. John has distinguished himself as one of the most talented songwriters that has ever come from Hawaii. For the new album, he assembled a staggering array of seasoned players including innovative percussion virtuoso Paulinho Da Costa, Los Lobos sax man Steve Berlin, monster bass player Glenn Worf, pedal steel guitarist Greg Leisz, and drummer James Gadson, whose soulful style has permeated the music of just about every top name in the business. John's recent touring has included stops at Bonnaroo, The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, Summerstage in New York's Central Park, and Carnegie Hall to name a few. I also went to Amherst High School with John and he was smokin' even then. By which I mean he was a great musician ;-) Get tickets here.
Masterful trio Celtic Fiddle Festival grace the Iron Horse Wednesday night at 7. They're a band, not an event. Sold-out tours and standing ovations give testimony to the electricity and excitement generated by these three great individual fiddle stylists. Kevin Burke (Ireland), Christian Lematre (Brittany) and Andre Brunet (Quebec) combine their talents, musical traditions, and spontaneous humor for an evening of dazzling energy and subtle grace. Called "three of the finest folk violinists anywhere" by The Washington Post, these traditional masters showcase their regional repertoires and together conjure an experience of breathtaking performances. Tickets Here.

Lunasa continues the march to St. Patrick’s Day on Monday, March 3rd at 7PM at the Iron Horse. Like the younger generation of Nashville musicians such as Béla Fleck or Edgar Meyer, pushing the boundaries of bluegrass into jazz and beyond, Lúnasa are redefining Irish music by going right to the heart of its rhythms. Their debut was hailed as one of the freshest recordings of Irish music in years, called moving, pulsating, and thrilling to the very marrow by Roots magazine and a true must-have disc by The Irish Voice. Lúnasa has become one of the most sought-after bands on the international Irish music scene. Tickets Here.
