ISHNA Boston-based Contemporary Irish Folk Band. Officially on the GRAMMY ballot for consideration for "Best Global Music Album" for "Slí Amach: Way Out"!

Rooted deeply in the traditional acoustic music of Ireland, while weaving an intricate global tapestry Fronted by husband-wife duo Ciaran Nagle and Tara Novak (both of Riverdance and The Three Irish Tenors), ISHNA is a Contemporary Irish Folk Band. The band members come from all over the world, hailing from different musical backgrounds. Together they enjoy exploring the rhythms and pathos of the music of Ireland. Known for their exuberant instrumental jigs and reels as well as their soaring vocal numbers, featuring Ciaran’s powerful tenor voice as well as intimate vocal harmonies, Ishna captures the nostalgia of the old sod while having its feet firmly planted in the Ireland of today.

The two clowns 🤡 in this photo will be bringing you music and merriment THIS SUNDAY June 21 Coopershill from 4-6:30pm!! There will be pints & tunes instead of books, but perhaps David and Tara Novak will still look just as excited???
