“In a traditional music form, one always has to go back to the source and revisit the roots and, you know, renew that continually. The other thing is, one needs to push the limits of that on the other end of the spectrum. You also have to find relevance in the world in which you exist as an artist and as a musician, so that it becomes a language that’s alive and speaking for you now.” - Martin Hayes of The Gloaming talks with The Georgia Straight in advance of Sunday's concert at the Chan Centre!

Congratulations!
