Áit Áit (Irish for “strange place”) are an experimental folk duo focused on reinterpretations of traditional songs – dark and deep, bright and sparkling; full of noise and life. Based in Minnesota, Áit Ait is Aja McCullough (song) and Patrick Maun (sound). The two set out to explore the living tradition that is Irish folk music – ever evolving and always changing, a solid footing set in the past but looking towards the future.
Mountain Loney is a solo project from Minneapolis-based Irish fiddle player, singer, and producer Danny Diamond. Centered on Danny’s unique and soulful fiddle playing, Mountain Loney combines music and song from his multi-generational musical heritage with contemporary sonic influences, creating a unique and progressive take on Irish traditional/folk music.
