Iowa Irish Fest is excited to announce their second performance for Iowa Irish Fest's Winter Concert Series! Clear your calendars for Saturday, March 7th, as Fest-favorite band Screaming Orphans will be performing at the Cedar Falls Oster Regent Theatre (103 Main St, Cedar Falls, IA 50613), starting at 7 p.m.
The Screaming Orphans are a chart-topping all-sister folk and pop band from Ireland. They are known worldwide for their award-winning sound combining original pop songs with a unique take on traditional Irish music. The band has always defied being pigeonholed, having masterfully developed their own unique fusion of folk and pop. The sisters’ trademark spine-tingling four-part harmony and mastery of their instruments, combined with their highly energized performances, take audiences of all ages on an exhilarating and emotional musical journey.
Screaming Orphans’ pitch perfect harmonies have led them to many collaborations on recordings and stage with artists such as Sinéad O’Connor, Peter Gabriel, Joni Mitchell, Baaba Maal and Afro Celt Sound System. Their albums have topped Billboard, iTunes and World Music charts.
