Celtic ensemble Solas will perform Sunday at the Center for the Arts of Homer in a comeback tour eight years after the band decided to take a break.
The Boston Globe called the group “the finest Celtic ensemble this country has ever produced” and The Wall Street Journal said it is “an Irish traditional band bearing all the marks of greatness.”
Solas formed in 1995 in New York City and has issued 12 albums and toured for more than 20 years.
In 2017, Solas decided to take a break. After eight years, the break is over and Solas is back and ready to celebrate its 30th anniversary.
The band now includes Séamus Egan, Winifred Horan, Mick McAuley, Éamon McElholm and Moira Smiley.
Doors open for the show at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at https://tinyurl.com/3f9zms8d.
