Celebrate The Royalty Of The Celtic Musical Tradition With Lia Fail

According to Scottish lore the Stone of Fal, or Lia Fail (pronounced Lee-uh Fall), was an enchanted, earthy measurer of kings. High kings were chosen by the stone. A handful of earth from the four corners of Ireland would be placed on the stone, and the successor to the throne would set his foot atop the soil. If he were the chosen one, the ground would shake. And the stone would keen and proclaim him king of all Ireland.

Lia Fail’s Tracy Kinney and Khearen Morgan celebrate through the medium of their sonic skill the royalty of the Celtic sound, past and present. Both of Celtic descent, they fuse traditional storytelling with progressive treatment of ancient music. For over 15 years, Kinney and Morgan have, like the stone of their namesake, proclaimed through rich, harmonic call, the royalty of music in the Celtic tradition. Join us at the Lakewood Public library on Sunday, March 14th when Lia Fail performs in the Main Library auditorium. Performance begins at 2pm.
