Mick
Moloney
& Athena
Tergis
2 DAY RESIDENCY
IN PHOENIX AZ
MARCH 21 – 22, 2017
For over 15 years, Mick Moloney (vocals, guitar, mandolin, tenor banjo, octave mandolin) and Athena Tergis (5 string fiddle) have stood together at the forefront of traditional Irish music. The pair first crossed paths at New York in 2000. Struck by the passion and flair in Athena’s music, Mick invited her into his legendary group the Green Fields of America, and since then the two have blazed a musical trail on the road, in groundbreaking recording projects.
Since 2010 they’ve performed as a duo, with Mick’s experience and selfless commitment to the music a perfect complement to the humor, pathos, and exuberance in Athena’s playing. The special rapport they’ve developed has lifted up audiences in Ireland, Scotland, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cuba, and throughout the USA. With constantly evolving material and an unmatched energy, their music transcends tradition and leaves audiences feeling uplifted and more connected to Irish music, its story, and beyond.
The Irish Cultural Center and the Arizona Jewish Historical Society are happy to bring Mick Moloney and Athena Tergis to Phoenix, get your tickets now:
