The Loyal Seas @ The Burren 6.25.2022

Tanya Donelly and Brian Sullivan recently released a wonderful new album under the moniker The Loyal Seas. The duo called upon Matthias Bossi, Russel Chudnofsky, Dean Fisher, Melissa Gibbs and Scott Janovitz to bring the recordings to life for a record release celebration at The Burren. The evening was a showcase for these new tunes as well as solo work from, and collaborations between, the various talented individuals on the stage. It was also a reminder of the how much joy a group of friends making beautiful music together can bring to a room.
