Slide

Prepare to be taken in by the music of Slide, an Irish group noted for meshing traditional Irish music with modern musical notions. The group is known for its unique and colorful sound. Irish Music Magazine said “The melodies and musicianship are first-rate. … [Slide] can sing, they can write, they can dance across fingerboards and piano keys, buttons and bows, and by crikey they can play.” Since forming in 1999, the group has recorded three studio albums and a live album. In 2008, Slide toured the United States, giving a new audience an opportunity to hear their brand of music.
