READ OUR REVIEW IN THE APRIL 2, 2008 CITY PAGES. WE MADE THE A-LIST!
A band based on musical friendships new and old. Kate and Jode Dowling play Irish Traditional Music with an intimacy and depth gained from over 12 years of playing together. They travel the world to learn their music from masters, well-known and obscure. The Dowlings are known for their great respect for the music, their skilled execution, their devotion to teaching and of course, for their hospitality and great house-party sessions. Their combined passion for the music translates to powerful performances.
Kate and Jode are lucky to perform with many talented friends in the HiBs. Our local community is rich with national and international talent. Our debut CD, which features Daithi Sproule, Martin McHugh, Brian Miller, Paul Wehling, Sean Egan, and Kate’s brother Brian Wade, is due to be released nationally in the summer of 2008.
Kate is the Executive Director of the Center for Irish Music in St. Paul The Center for Irish Music . Kate and Jode were founding members of the Doon Ceili Band, of which they are now alumni.
Jode has his own myspace site at Jodetunes.
