Rig the Jig (Toucan Cove), from Ireland. It was an otherwise ordinary night when a group of musicians found themselves together at a pub session back in 1996. They didn’t know it at the time, but that informal meeting ignited a spark that grew into one of the brightest and warmest lights of today’s Irish folk music scene. Some of the faces may have changed over the years, but Rig the Jig has proven itself as a byword for wonderfully organic, talented and energetic performances of music and song. It is truly a rare breed. Not many bands have transcended the sum of their parts to become an entity with a life force of its own. Of course, the finest folk group can only exist with the finest ingredients. And in Rig the Jig, Irish and American folk songs find the captivating, story-telling voice of some of the best in the business. Lead single, "High and Dry", which was originally done by Radiohead, goes for ADDS August 2-3. You can get more info here.
