Irish Music for the Soul - Molly Malone

Nippersink Rogues, Tom Steffens and Mike Knauf, have been performing for almost 20 years. They present this collection of Irish tunes that sing and play to a tradition that is informed by gaiety and sadness, triumphs, foibles and follies, wit and wisdom.  Most of all, the music embodies the love of freedom that has sustained the Irish peoples through hard political times and their dignity and sense of self worth, empowering them to breach cultural, economic and social barriers.  Please listen to some track samples below.
