Beoga’s 2009 album ‘The Incident’ has seen the supergroup continue to blaze a pioneering trail, rewarding fans with their fresh creative energy and seducing a diverse array of music lovers. The Incident is shortlisted for a GRAMMY award nomination for Best Contemporary World Music Album. “Riveting... the most exciting new traditional band to emerge from Ireland this century,” Wall Street Journal. “Simply thrilling, an auditory high-wire act without a net,” Irish Philadelphia. “Beoga are at the forefront of the Irish new wave,” Irish Music Magazine.
Their distinctive sound is described by New York’s Irish Echo as “a heady, virtually head-spinning sonic blend, stamping Beoga as perhaps the most audacious Irish band rooted in trad today.” The Irish American News lauds the “energy, drive, intelligent creativity, wit and real musicianship” declaring, “this is the freshest take on the tradition,” and the Boston Globe ranks Beoga “as innovative as Celtic music mavericks Solas and Lunasa,” In short, Beoga have become one of the most popular and influential ensembles in modern Irish music.
