Keeping the Fire Lit: Irish Tradition and Song with David Slattery

In this episode, we are excited to have David Slattery, a talented singer-songwriter from Clarecastle, Ireland as our guest. David is a full-time musician who draws inspiration from his life experiences and expresses himself through various music genres. He has gained popularity in the US for the videos of him singing & playing at Irish music sessions, where he pays tribute to Eoin O'Neil by singing covers of his songs. It’s clear just how much their dedication to music and culture resonates on both sides of the Atlantic. Eoin’s influence in keeping Irish traditional music alive is truly profound, not just for his local audience but also for listeners worldwide. David’s heartfelt cover of Eoin’s songs truly honors that legacy, bringing a unique touch while paying deep respect to the original. We talk with David about his approach to sharing his heart through music, what inspires him as a songwriter, and just what is a "Trad Session"? His forthcoming recording sounds like an amazing collaboration with singers and musicians from County Clare in Ireland! We're sure many people will connect deeply with his music. All this and there may even be a 'sneak peek' of David's studio recording of the Eoin O'Neil classic "Walking to the Mountain".Follow David Slattery on FacebookDavid Slattery & David Hippel - Both Sides (official video)David Slattery & David Hippel - Why Did Ya (official video)David Slattery - Different"Walking to the Mountain" written by Eoin O'Neill David Slattery - Vocals & guitar Martin O Malley - Bass David Hippel - Drums Ernesto Lara  Sánchez - Clarinet Clara Buteler - Backing vocals Mixed , edited , and mastered by Martin O MalleyMore info:⁠⁠⁠Joy Adler Alternative Healing Arts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joy Adler Music⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.danzavadil.comIf you've enjoyed this episode, please consider leaving us a positive review.
