Please help! With RUNA’s Rockin’ Sock Collection, the band has been asking concert attendees to bring pairs of brand new socks to their shows. There will be a box in our upper lobby to collect them and BRT will then deliver what is collected to a worthy R.I. nonprofit organization. So far, RUNA has collected and donated over 6,000 pairs of socks! Any socks are great .. They just have to be brand new. Socks are the #1 requested item from shelters, but are rarely received, as they have to be brand new. Please bring a pair (or more) to the gig Saturday. Thank you in advance!

RUNA

Blackstone River Theatre

Celebrating its 14-year anniversary as a band, Celtic-American roots group RUNA continues to push the boundaries of Irish folk music into the Americana and roots music formats. Interweaving the haunting melodies and exuberant tunes of Ireland and Scotland with the lush harmonies and intoxicating rhythms of jazz, bluegrass, flamenco and blues, they offer a thrilling and redefining take on traditional music. Earning them the reputation as one of the most innovative Irish folk groups of this generation, RUNA consists of vocalist and step dancer, Shannon Lambert-Ryan of Philadelphia, Dublin-born guitarist, Fionán de Barra, Cheryl Prashker of Canada on percussion, Jake James of New York on fiddle, and newest member Tom Fitzgerald of Canada on mandolin and vocals. The group has been honored internationally, winning Top Group and Top Traditional Group in the Irish Music Awards and three Independent Music Awards including Best LIVE Album, Best World/Traditional Song, and Best Bluegrass Song. Seeking to preserve and continue a traditional culture in a modern age, RUNA creates the backbone of its signature roots sound from the musical and geographical diversity of its individually established band members. Always a Blackstone River Theatre fan favorite, we are thrilled to welcome them back!
