About The Rookery:

THE ROOKERY, based in Philadelphia, infuses its Irish Traditional Music with an eclectic and dynamic blend of influences, creating a fun-filled atmosphere of old-world charm brimming with energy and enthusiasm. Rob Curto (accordion/guitar) expanded his roots as a New York-based pianist through studies with the great Billy McComiskey, and continues to push his own boundaries through klezmer, Latin and jazz. Maura Dwyer (fiddle) carries her training as a classical cellist into a style which produces not only soaring lines, but also refined texture and complex counter-themes. Eamon Kelly (bouzouki) put years of experience as a classical bass player together with his passion for Irish music, becoming an emerging star in the world of both accompaniment and melody. The group presents a wide variety of traditional dance tunes from around the Emerald Isle, bringing the audience alongside them on a musical journey of discovery.
