For more than three decades, the Irish traditional music ensemble Dervish has carried the sounds, stories, and spirit of northwest Ireland to audiences around the world. On Thursday, Nov. 5, at 7:30 p.m., the celebrated Sligo-based band brings its live performance to the Strand Theatre in Rockland.
One of Ireland’s most acclaimed traditional ensembles, Dervish has earned a reputation for performances that are at once virtuosic and deeply rooted, according to a Strand Theatre news release. Honored with the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards Lifetime Achievement Award and hailed as “an icon of Irish music,” the group has performed on stages ranging from Glastonbury to Rio de Janeiro—and even atop the Great Wall of China.
Tickets are available online at rocklandstrand.com or at the walk-up box office one hour prior to showtime.
