Moving On Music welcomes ‘The Whileaways’ at the Alley Theatre on Thursday 15th March.
The Whileaways world is one of harmonies and beautifully crafted original music.
Using American folksong as a starting point, the three-piece cut their own trail through the undergrowth of roots music.
The band began life playing sessions in the folk melting pot of Galway city.
Since their first release in 2013 they have performed on some of the most prestigious stages and festivals around, wooing audiences and reviewers as they go.
Each member – Noelie McDonnell (vocals, guitar), Nicola Joyce (vocals, ukulele), and Noriana Kennedy (vocals, guitar, banjo) is a force within the Irish circuit. Together their talents create a band bursting with charm and flair. Their sound is true, their performances gloriously engaging.
Their recent highly acclaimed album ‘Saltwater Kisses’ received four stars in The Irish Times and RTE Radio 1 Album of the week. Their sound is true, their performances gloriously engaging.
Prepare to be spellbound by The Whileaways.
