Bob Dylan and Irish music have a lot in common.
’s Adam Goldstein polled his friends on the best breakup records, two made the top of the heap: Beck’s. The latter is one of Goldstein's favorites. He’s played it for years as a solo artist, and now Avourneen is offering its traditional Irish take on the record.on Sunday, November 20, with Goldstein teaching a class ahead of the concert.
The band will interpret the songs in the traditional Irish style that Avourneen traffics in, but Goldstein has performed them on his own in coffee shops with just harmonica as an extra accompaniment for nearly ten years. When he began to play with Morden, Goldstein proposed that Morden play organ on some songs to layer the sound.
Goldstein feels there is a line connecting Dylan and Irish music, which he discovered when he was about eighteen years old. He bought a cassette of some anonymous band playing in some forgotten pub in rural Ireland from God knows when. It was the kind of tape you'd find at the bottom of a dollar bin at a record store, but he took to it immediately.
Goldstein adds that his interest in the instrumental side of Irish music came later, but it continues to grow. He says some of the best guitar, bouzouki and fiddle players he’s heard have been at Irish music jam sessions. The fusion of music and storytelling makes for an amazing combination."The songs are just these epic stories that have these themes that have been passed down generation after generation,” he explains.
