Join us to welcome Finn Magill as he returns to The River House as a Violin-led electric jazz fusion quartet, debuting original music from the forthcoming album "The Polaris Project!”
For twenty years North Carolina-native violinist/fiddler Andrew Finn Magill has been pursuing parallel careers in traditional Irish music, Brazilian choro, jazz and American fiddle. Magill learned from the best fiddlers in the world at The Swannanoa Gathering and has gone on to be a performer and headliner at festivals including Celtic Connections in Glasgow Scotland, Malawi's prestigious Lake of Stars Festival, and Milwaukee Irishfest. He is a Fulbright fellow, North Carolina Arts Council Fellow and has been featured on MTV, Avianca in-flight entertainment and multiple times on NPR.
His 2016 album Roots (featuring Cillian Vallely of Lúnasa and John Doyle) debuted at number #46 on the folk DJ charts and he has released four albums since resulting in a record deal with Ropeadope Records and more than a million streams on Spotify. He has performed with everyone from grammy-nominees John Doyle and Trio Brasileiro to Rising Appalachia. In 2020 he released the EP Half Light with former Paul McKenna Bandmate Seán Gray and full-length album Murray & Magill with Scottish singer and guitar & bouzouki-player Alan Murray (Colin Farrell Band). Magill is also working on recording projects with Irish singer Dave Curley and his original jazz quartet, both of which will be launched in 2021.
