Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill are one of the most memorable partnerships in acoustic music today. The Irish fiddler and American guitarist distill the essence of Irish music, exploring and expanding the tradition in galvanizing performances. The duo's third CD, Welcome Here Again (Compass), came out in 2008 after a 10-year recording hiatus. The Wall Street Journal called it "outstanding," and The Irish Examiner raved "as close to a spiritual experience as [music] can be."
