MP3 The Wexford Boys - Seems Like Only Yesterday

Traditional Irish music filtered through a folk-rock lens .... somewhat akin the Chieftains and Van Morrison, there are also echoes of Jim Morrison in Rob Flaherty's vocals. Jason Pfeiffer plays soaring and spiraling melodies with dizzying deftness.

Details:
The Wexford Boys have become a familiar name on the Philadelphia/So. Jersey Irish music scene. The duo has developed a sound that blends their diverse musical influences with Irish traditional music. Rob Flaherty (guitar, mandolin, vocals) and Jason Pfeiffer (whistles, flutes, bodhran) present audiences with lively sets of Irish traditional music seasoned with the sounds of reggae, folk-rock, jazz and classical music. The band's 2003 debut release, "Seems Like Only Yesterday ..." features unique treatments of well-known traditional songs, reels and jigs, along with several original compositions.

"Irish Music blends with folk-rock in a masterful presentation of familiar jigs and reels. Playful creativity with a traditional core makes The Wexford Boys both authentic and energetically original. And when they break out the pub songs, you're bound to sing along."
-Bonny Hart, WBZC 88.9 FM
