Founded in 1987, Newgrange remains one of the most innovative contemporary traditional bands in the midwest. The band's repertoire ranges from the purely traditional to the dynamically innovative. The group's four members bring in wide and varied traditional backgrounds together to create a variety of ensembles within the band. With three vocalists and all band members composing songs and tunes, Newgrange draws upon a wealth of traditional and original material. The band's trademark is its unique emphasis on arrangements both subtle and complex. This musical richness combines with the band's oddball humor to make a Newgrange show a delightful experience not to be missed.
