Northeast State Entertainment Technology program director/musician Will MacMorran and violinist/fiddler Andrew Finn Magill return to present a magical celebration of Irish music on Oct. 20 at Northeast State Community College.
The concert takes place at 12:00 p.m. in the Auditorium (A202) of the Student Services Building on the Blountville campus. Admission is free, and the public is invited.
A Fulbright Fellow and a South Arts Emerging Traditional Artist, Magill’s resume highlights his accomplishments as a North Carolina Arts Council Fellow, an All-Ireland Fiddle finalist, and a recording artist with Ropeadope Records. Magill performed his music on MTV-U, PBS, and multiple times on NPR. His 2016 album, Roots, debuted at number 46 on the Folk DJ music charts. His latest recording, The Polaris Project, is an ambitious album featuring ten original pieces composed for an electric jazz quartet. The album reflects Magill’s extensive experiences as a musician in Ireland, Malawi, Ghana, Brazil, and the southern United States.
MacMorran is a nationally recognized multi-talented musician and audio engineer with a reputation that precedes him. MacMorran toured with renowned Irish band The Chieftains as their guitar player. He spent 15 years traveling both nationally and internationally with well-known artists across the Celtic, pop, and country genres. MacMorran started piping at a young age and quickly added the guitar, whistles, accordion, and bouzouki, among other instruments, to his skillset. He serves as department head of Entertainment Technology at Northeast State and teaches as an adjunct in East Tennessee State University’s Bluegrass, Old Time, and Roots Music Studies Program.
Northeast State’s International Education Program sponsors the performance. For more information, visit www.northeaststate.edu or email internationaled@northeaststate.edu.
