The Irish all-male wonder from producer Sharon Browne, and legendary songwriter/composer Phil Coulter, performs an eclectic mix of songs ranging from the traditional to the contemporary, with some international hits and original material in between. Boasting boy-band good looks and impeccable harmonies, the group delivers traditional Celtic songs and contemporary pop classics as only they know how.
Andre 3000
Andr 3000, renowned for his infectious hip-hop style as part of Outkast, took a bold artistic turn in 2023 with the release of his debut solo album "New Blue Sun.". Moving away from groovy beats and emotional wordplay, Andre released an entirely instrumental album (featuring lots of flutes). Andre 3000 will be bringing the New Blue Sun to life with Carlos Nio, Nate Mercereau, Surya Botofasina, and Deantoni Parks.
