Jeanie Johnston - Tales from the Shore (2021)

Celtic music sloshes across the Atlantic. Finds inspiration and instruments there between the swamps of Louisiana and the American Midwest, and miraculously finds his way to Switzerland.

Jeanie Johnston, that was the name of the boat that swung thousands of Irish people safely to America during the great famine. In their luggage they had homesickness for their old home and curiosity for their new home. On the current CD "Tales from the Shore", Jeanie Johnston tell exactly these stories of transitions and new beginnings, of escape - including death. Simply from life. The band makes use of the musical cultural treasure of the Old World and what has developed from it in the New World - from Celtic Folk to Bluegrass to Blues and Jazz.

The singer and the three instrumentalists are musically washed with many waters. Well-trained and active in a wide variety of bands, skills, enthusiasm and passion of the musicians flow together here. Be it in your own compositions or in traditionals that are tailored to your body.
