DANA LYN & KYLE SANNA - With special guest SUSAN MCKEOWN A "Through the Looking Glass" approach to traditional Irish music. SUSAN MCKEOWN Grammy award-winning and BBC Award-nominated vocalist and songwriter Susan McKeown is widely acknowledged as one of the most powerful and innovative voices in folk music today. She has performed with Pete Seeger, Natalie Merchant, Billy Bragg, Arlo Guthrie, Mamadou Diabate, Mali’s Ensemble Tartit, Queens band Mariachi Réal de Mexico, Lúnasa, Flook and The Klezmatics, with whom she won a Grammy Award performing lyrics by Woody Guthrie. DANA LYN & KYLE SANNA Hailed as “first-rate, versatile musicians” by The New Yorker and “a top-notch fiddle-and-guitar duo” by The New York Times , Dana Lyn and Kyle Sanna connect the dots between their experience as composers and improvisers in New York City’s rich musical community and their deep admiration for traditional Irish music. The duo has collaborated with some of the greatest interpreters of the Irish tradition, including Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill, Cillian Vallely, Kevin Burke, Mick McAuley, and Seamus Egan. The duo’s music will be featured in the upcoming Ken Burns film The American Revolution . Since 2015 their projects have been focused on themes of environmental fragility. “The Great Arc” and “The Coral Suite” celebrate biodiversity through Lyn’s artwork, while also highlighting pressing environmental issues, and their work for string orchestra, “Under the Sea-Wind”, amplifies Rachel Carson’s message that the health of the planet rests on the balance of relationships between life and the cycles of nature. Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist and composer Dana Lyn has collaborated with Stew, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D’Onofrio, Heather Christian, Susan McKeown, Mick Moloney, Taylor Mac, Brooklyn Rider,  and the Apple Hill String Quartet. One of her favorite things to do is to write music for her friends and then play that music with them at Barbes. Guitarist Kyle Sanna’s diverse musical practice includes composition, improvisation, the recording studio, live coding, and the traditional music of Ireland. He performs regularly with Kinan Azmeh, Maeve Gilchrist, Seamus Egan, and Martin Hayes. WNYC’s New Sounds and Sound Check host John Schaefer called his music “unconventionally beautiful.” 7pm $20 suggested.  Pay now online or that night in person.
