Spirit Family Reunion
"Dusty acoustic guitars, wailing fiddles and weeping accordions, with a woozy-yet-skintight rhythm section-- and topped off with burr-edged vocals that sound like they've been soaked in a Mason jar for generations -- it's the type of music that blurs the line between past and present so thoroughly, and so deftly, that time feels irrelevant."
-Paste Magazine Best of What's Next

Johnny Gallagher - Johnny Gallagher of Bundoran, Ireland booked a tour of northwest Ireland for two of my bands, Brenda Linton and Rain Dance. Johnny had Harry's Guitar Shop, owned by Rain Dance's very own Harry Tueting, repair a guitar for him and invited us to come over and play some shows with his band, Boxtie.  The tour was great fun and Rain Dance and Johnny Gallagher and Boxtie had a wonderful time gigging together.  Brenda's band toured Ireland May 4-22 2006.  Please visit Johnny's website at http://www.johnnygallagher.com.  There you can find out all things relating to Johnny Gallagher and the Boxtie Band.  We also want to thank Steve McGovern of Cootehall for booking most of the dates for Brenda's tour.
