Carmel & the Ravens at the Passion Fruit, Athlone, 11 Nov. 2010

Carmel Sheerin & the Ravens are continuing their nationwide tour and are set to play in the Passion Fruit Theatre, Northgate Street, Athlone, Co. Westmeath, on Thursday 11 November. An enjoyable night is promised as Carmel & the Boys perform songs from their recently released second album, Here with you, made 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 breadth 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 (IBMA Male Vocalist of the Year & Song of the Year Winner 2006) and Charlie McGettigan.
