Molly's Revenge and their special guest vocalist Moira Smiley will be performing their Celtic Christmas Celebration of music, song, and dance associated with the festive season at the First Presbyterian Church, 114 SW 8th Street, Corvallis, OR 97333 on Friday December 17th 2010 at 7:30pm. Glenfiddich Scottish Fiddle Champion Rebecca Lomnicky and The Portland Irish Dance Academy will also be appearing at the concert.
The performance will include Christmas songs both old and new, all given a Celtic twist. There will be music from the upcoming Molly's Revenge release, their tenth CD, which was produced by Aaron Jones, member of Scottish supergroup Old Blind Dogs. The audience will have an opportunity to join in and sing some of their favorite carols. And The Portland Irish Dance Academy dancers will surely set everyone's toes tapping!
Winterdance, a new CD featuring music from the show, will be available at these concerts. Ten percent of the profits from Winterdance will be donated to the ALS Foundation (Lou Gehrig's disease). The band's last Christmas album, Yuledance, will also be on sale at the concert and has already generated over $3000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the Aplastic Anaemia and MDS Foundation.
Molly's Revenge, whose lineup includes bagpipes, fiddle, whistle, guitar, mandola, and bouzouki, have toured extensively in the USA and in AUstralia, China and Scotland. The band is known for its unique and infectious on-stage enthusiasm. The classic combination of bagpipes, whistle, fiddle, and song -- set against a backdrop of guitar, bouzouki, and mandola accompaniment -- guarantees an enjoyable experience for all fans of Scottish and Irish music. Their arrangements of traditional jigs and reels bring these dance tunes up to date with a driving, hard-edged accent that always leaves audiences shouting for more.
Moira Smiley is an internationally known composer and vocalist who has traveled the world as a performer and appeared at the Lincoln Center and other prestigious fine arts and folk venues in the U.S., Canada and Europe. She is a student of Irish sean nos (old-style) singing and has won the Western USA branch of the All Ireland Singing Championships.
