RUNA
RUNA
RUNA draws on the diverse musical backgrounds of its band members and brings a contemporary and refreshing experience to traditional and more recently composed Celtic material. Through their repertoire of both highly energetic and graceful, acoustic melodies, along with their fusion of music from Ireland, Scotland, the Shetland Islands, Canada, and the United States, this vocal and instrumental ensemble gives its arrangements of traditional songs and tunes a fresh sound.
“For contemporary Celtic music at its very best, do yourself a favor and check out RUNA. RUNA... brilliant!” - Gene Shay, WXPN

Claudia Schmidt,
plus Dulcie Taylor
Claudia Schmidt weaves her way through her concert in much the same manner as a jester. Interwoven anecdotes, revealing her past and present, bring people to expect a relationship between themselves and memories driven deep with the passage of time. The concert is an endless display of self-realization through humor and longing, leaving audience members yearning to become an integral part of her world.
Dulcie Taylor is a Virginia-based singer-songwriter with a compelling voice and a writer's eye. Her four CDs have received substantial national airplay on roots and AAA stations and garnered several awards, including local Wammies. In addition to crafting song lyrics, Dulcie Taylor is a prolific writer of poetry and prose (and an elected member of the Board of Directors of the Poetry Series at D.C.'s Folger Shakespeare Library). Her latest recording, "Free of this Sorrow," includes John McEuen (Nitty Gritty Dirt Band) among other guests.
“Claudia Schmidt is a true artist. She has talent and the fire of genius.”
-The Boston Globe
“She comes at you straight from the shoulder, letting the listener feel the full impact of heer delivery, leaving nothing behind.”
- David Nathan, AllAboutJazz.com
“She writes from the heart, for the heart.”
-The Washington Post
