March 17, 2010 | NPR· Icelandic singer-songwriter Ólöf Arnalds has made a name for herself in her homeland. With the recent release of her debut in the U.S. and a new album set for Spring, she's looking to gain international recognition.
 
March 17, 2010 | WXPN· In creating San Patricio, Paddy Maloney and Ry Cooder were inspired by a group of Irish immigrant soldiers who left the American army to fight for Mexico in the Mexican-American War. The album's seamless combination of Irish and Mexican folk songs makes this World Cafe appearance a distinctive listening experience.
 
March 16, 2010 | NPR· A mainstay of the Boston folk movement of the '60s, Rush is one of the performers for whom the term "singer-songwriter" was originally coined. He performs some of his greatest hits, and a choice cover, live on the program.
 
March 15, 2010 | WKSV· Folk Alley has assembled over 7 hours of music by some of their favorite Irish musicians. You'll hear a mix of familiar and new artists, including Mary Black, Solas, Danu, John Doyle, Donal Lunny, Connie Dover, Andy Irvine, Planxty, Grada, The Chieftains (of course) and much, much more! Sláinte mhaith!
