True to the beloved cabbage-potato-onion concoction for which they're named, Colorado-based quintet Colcannon serve up a piping hot, wonderfully toothsome Irish dish. The ingredients? Mick Bolger on bodhran (hand drum), cornet, and vocals, Rod Garnett on wooden flutes and fifes, Mike Fitzmaurice on double bass, Jean Bolger on fiddle and accordion, and Brian Mullins on guitar, mandolin, and bouzouki, all wrapped around a fine selection of traditional and original Irish music, with a generous dollop of originality thrown in as well (check out Mick's cornet playing). A taste or two of this passionate, moving music reveals a successful blend of contemporary styles with traditional Celtic heart and essence. Six albums (most recently last year's Trad.), concerts across North America and Europe, and an Emmy award-winning video, Colcannon in Concert, which was aired as a PBS television special, have helped make them one of the country's most popular Celtic groups. What more can we say? Come and get it!
