Irish Night: Steam Quartet & Sorcha — November 22, 2024 at the Coralville Center for the Performing Arts

The Steam Quartet is a powerful combo of the leading exponents of traditional Irish music from the international acoustic scene. Chicago artists John Williams, Katie Grennan, Steve Morrow and Jeff Lindblade have thrilled audiences from Shanghai to Chicago and from Paris to Pittsburgh. Concertina, fiddle, bodhran and guitar ignite to raise the rafters and warm the heart. Appearances on BBC, PBS, Dreamworks, Riverdance and with the Chieftains round out their various backgrounds and their versatility embraces dance, wit, and road-tested musical integrity.

Born out of love for the Celtic and Folk genres, Sorcha brings originality of arrangements and instrumental material to the forefront. Inspired by the likes of legendary bands such as Flook, Solas, Lunasa, and Capercaillie, just to name a few, Sorcha is putting their own unique stamp on traditional tunes. Sorcha is comprised of local performers Dan Vaughn (Irish whistle & flute) and Nikki Philbrick (fiddle), along with Conor Hearn on guitar.
