On Tuesday, March 11, 2025 at 7 PM, the Noble Maritime Collection will host Irish band Téada for their only New York City date on their upcoming tour of the United States. Tickets for this intimate performance at the museum are $30 each and can be purchased by clicking the button below.
Téada (meaning "strings" in the Irish language) revels in the vibrant traditional music of their native Ireland. The band was founded in 2001 by Sligo fiddler Oisín Mac Diarmada and along with button accordion player Paul Finn, they're joined by Damien Stenson on flute, Seán Mc Elwain on guitar, and Tristan Rosenstock on bodhrán.
Téada's textural arrangements, charged with a vibrant energy, play up the structural intricacies of Irish traditional tunes passed down through generations. The Irish Times has praised the band for "keeping the traditional flag flying at full mast."
Téada captures the rawness and individuality of the solo artist within a modern group context. The band has headlined major music festivals throughout the US, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Africa, Russia, Israel and Australia.
