For over a decade, Solas has been hailed as the leading Irish-American super group. Though line-up changes and experiments with style and technology, the band has pushed the boundaries of - but never strayed too far from - their Irish roots. Now, as Mairead Phelan, an exciting young singer from Kilkenny, steps up to lend her exquisite vocals to the existing line up of Seamus Egan, Winifred Horan, Mick McAuley and Eamon McElholm, the band heads into their second decade of playing tight, fiery Irish music with a new tour and a new CD, FOR LOVE & LAUGHTER.
