- “There is truly a mystical quality to their playing. They create a lyrical sound that is at
once unique as well as seamless.” ~ Lori Lander Murphy, Irish Philadelphia - “Best of all, RUNA sounds like no one else.” ~ Travis Rogers, Jr., Music Life and Times
- “At its core, RUNA is a fine Celtic band with influences and sensibilities that extend
well beyond folk traditions to World and Jazz and Pop sounds” ~ Walt Haake, Celtic
Sunday Brunch, WDVR-FM, Sergeantsville, NJ - “For contemporary Celtic music at its very best – do yourself a favor and check out
RUNA.. brilliant!” – Gene Shay, co-founder of the Philadelphia Folk Festival; WXPN-FM
RUNA draws on the diverse musical backgrounds of its band members and offers a contemporary and refreshing approach to traditional and more
recently composed Celtic material. Through their repertoire of both highly energetic and graceful, acoustic melodies, along with their fusion of
music from Ireland, Scotland, Canada, and the United States, this vocal and instrumental ensemble gives its arrangements of traditional songs
and tunes a fresh sound.
Members of RUNA have played with Solas, Riverdance, Slide, Clannad, Fiddlers’ Bid, Moya Brennan, Eileen Ivers, Hazel O’Conner, Full Frontal
Folk, Keith & Kristyn Getty, Barcó, Téada, and the Guy Mendilow Band.
RUNA consists of vocalist and step-dancer, Shannon Lambert-Ryan of Philadelphia, Dublin-born guitarist, Fionán de Barra, Cheryl Prashker of
Canada on percussion, Dave Curley on mandolin, vocals, bodhrán, and step-dancing, and Maggie Estes of Louisville on the fiddle. The band often
performs with world-renowned, guest musicians, including Isaac Alderson on the uilleann pipes, flutes, and whistles.
The band won several awards at the 2010 Montgomery Buck Music Awards, including Best Entertaining Band, Best Folk Artist, Best Female
Vocalist, and Best Album – “Jealousy”. They were recently recognized on an international level in the Irish Music Awards with a nomination for
Best Female Vocalist for 2012. Jim Allford of PA Music Scene writes, “The band is going to be reckoned with and I really feel they are Grammy
bound within time.”
RUNA recently released their third album, “Somewhere Along the Road”. Hailed by Irish Philadelphia as “an inspired group that has found its
voice, and its place, in the world of Irish music”.

Fifth generation slack-key guitarist
Keoki Kahumoku began performing
with his father, George Kahumoku, Jr.,
and his uncle, Moses Kahumoku, in
1990 at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel on
the Big Island of Hawai‘i. In 1992,
Keoki and his family moved to the
Island of Maui, to perform at the Westin
Maui in Ka’anapali.
Keoki has won many awards including:
2003 Duane Ebata Award; 2005 Na Hoku
Hanohano Award for Compilation Album
of the Year; and six Grammy’s!
Keoki’s performance style is as much
about his relaxed, engaging “talk story”
as it is about his wide Hawaiian
repertoire.

There is no other keyboardist in the history of rock & roll with a more stunning,
voluminous résumé than Ian McLagan. He was the animating force behind The
Faces & The Small Faces and has toured and recorded with: The Rolling Stones,
Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen, Taj Mahal, John Hiatt, David
Lindley, Paul Westerberg, Billy Bragg and Patty Griffin, just to name a few. His
Wurlitzer electric piano is heard on everything from “Stay With Me” by The
Faces to the smash hit “Miss You” by The Rolling Stones, and Mac's trademark
Hammond B-3 organ is featured on the Small Faces classic “Itchycoo Park’ and
Rod Stewart's “Maggie May” and “You Wear It Well”.
Mac ( as he is affectionately known) is the consummate “road-warrior”, and
tours the world non-stop performing selections from his solo albums as well as
Faces & Small Faces favorites!
