Introducing a brand new project "Here With You" I recently received from Carmel Sheerin & The Ravens that I have enjoyed immensely. I've been doing my usual and saying that they're from the UK and I've found from researching for this blog that they're actually out of Ireland. The entire project is very well done with a couple tunes that really stand out to me such as "Streets Of Heaven" and "All About Love". These songs have tremendous lyrics and heart touching creativity injected in each that will nearly bring you to tears.
Every note has been critiqued from the instruments to the vocals with harmonies that have been blended with much enthusiasm and and love for the music itself.This group consists of family siblings Carmel, Danny, Des and Tom Sheerin with banjo artist, Jonathan Toman.
This project is the second CD produced by the group and have such accolades as receiving top honors in 2009 at Ireland's Entertainment Awards and additionally received the # 1 European Bluegrass Band 2005 - 2006 as voted by the European Bluegrass Music Association.
Carmel's flair for delivering stirring, original material is backed by immaculate harmony singing and precise, steady musicianship.
Tune into Southern Branch Bluegrass and enjoy the latest CD "Here With You"as I do or go to Carmel Sheerin's web-page and purchase your copy and enjoy.
We had this group come by and help kick off the "Kentucky Lake Bluegrass Festival" back a few years ago when they were touring the U.S.
ReplyDeleteThey are great and we would love to see them back in the states.
Carmel has a great voice and their original material brought a new taste to our bluegrass fans here in Kentucky.
Thumbs up for this group!
