Carmel Sheerin & the Ravens at Athy, 27 May 2009

Carmel Sheerin & the Ravens are continuing their nationwide tour and are set to play in the Carlton Abbey Hotel, Athy, Co. Kildare, on Wednesday 27 May. An enjoyable night is promised as Carmel and the boys perform songs from their recently released second album, Here with you, with multi-Grammy-Award-winning Nashville producer Bil VornDick.

'This band simply gets better and better with each performance'

Carmel & the boys have scaled new heights in the past year and performed on the international scene, at a level most bands in this country could only aspire to. In America, this band is being mentioned in the same breath as artists such as Alison Krauss, Ricky Skaggs, Rhonda Vincent, and Tim O'Brien. This is mainly down to the unique sound of Carmel on lead vocals and the band singing clean harmonies throughout. The recently released album consists of a lot of the band's own material, and some collaborations with top American and Irish bluegrass songwriters, including Tim O'Brien (Male Vocalist of the Year & Song of the Year Winner 2006) and Charlie McGettigan.

Tickets for the Concert can be purchased at the Carlton Abbey Hotel, Athy.
