Irish band to take stage at park

Dublin roots band I Draw Slow has been garnering praise around the globe since the release of their Top-10-selling album "Redhills" in 2012.

The band will play at Fir Street Park in the Sisters Folk Festival's series of free summer concerts on Thursday, August 4, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

I Draw Slow's new album, "White Wave Chapel," is all the buzz at home and overseas with their unique sound, bringing together Irish tradition with modern Americana while staying rooted in the old-time style of Appalachia.

Their impact abroad is redrawing the map for these Irish/Americana songwriters.

The UK press describes I Draw Slow as "American top league equivalents" destined "to blow the opposition away," drawing favorable comparisons with Gillian Welch and Alison Krauss.

While filling the airwaves on tastemaker stations at home and abroad, the band has been winning fans on both sides of the Atlantic, playing legendary festivals such as Celtic Connections, MerleFest, Pickathon, RockyGrass, Grey Fox, Wintergrass and more.

Low-back chairs and picnics are welcome at the Fir Street Park show.
