“Finvarra’s Wren is lovely!”—Jean Ritchie

This four-piece Michigan band plays invigorating Irish, Scottish and Celtic-American folk music. Traditional and contemporary songs are punctuated with wonderfully inventive arrangements of jigs, reels and hornpipes, and they offer original compositions that take their place in the living tradition of folk music of the British Isles. Among their hardcore fans is Folk Alley host Matt Watroba, who describes a Wren band concert as "a swirl of musical tradition and performance energy." Finvarra’s Wren is a staple of The Ark’s holiday program, but it’s been a while since we’ve heard their non-holiday show. So come out and check out this band that’s steeped in the living tradition!
