Dave Curley, Tadhg Ó Meachair & Joanna Hyde form an exciting and dynamic transatlantic trio that presents a rousing blend of Irish and American folk music, having already won over audiences on both sides of the ocean. The group is made up of Dublin’s Tadhg Ó Meachair (Goitse), Galway’s Dave Curley (SLIDE) and Denver, Colorado’s Joanna Hyde (The Hydes), and features a mix of Irish and American folk music and song – both traditional and newly- composed – presented in an energetic and engaging manner. Their performances strike a tasteful balance between the stories found in ballads across both sides of the Atlantic and the respective instrumental music traditions of these places. Award-winning instrumentalists each in their own right, Dave, Tadhg & Joanna take a unique twist on the diverse strengths of their individual backgrounds, weaving between traditional melodies, their own compositions, and songs from the broader folk canon. The results are highly personalised and thrilling in their daring and forthright grasp of the material. Through a shared deep-rooted passion for Irish traditional music, this trio highlights the vital role of Irish traditional music as an origin of many American folk musics, and explores how those styles can interact with one another in a manner both eclectic and grounded. Bios Joanna Hyde VOCALS · FIDDLE A Colorado native, Joanna Hyde grew up in a musical family, and has travelled throughout North America and Europe to perform and teach at various workshops, concert venues, and festivals. Beginning with classical music, Joanna quickly expanded her playing to other styles including Irish, Texas swing, bluegrass, and Americana/folk. She won numerous fiddle contests throughout her youth, including placing in the top 5 of her age division at the National Oldtime Fiddlers’ Contest. She spent many summers attending music festivals and camps, where she learned from renowned Irish fiddlers James Kelly, Liz Carroll, Tommy Peoples, Martin Hayes, and Antóin Mac Gabhann, among others. For her undergraduate studies, Joanna was awarded the Boettcher Scholarship, a full-tuition scholarship to study at any 4-year institution in the state of Colorado. In 2009 she graduated magna cum laude from Colorado College with a BA in Music, and was recognized with the Music Department’s top performance and academic awards. In 2011, Joanna was selected as one of 10 scholars from across the United States by a panel of distinguished arts professors and professionals to receive the Jack Kent Cook Foundation’s Graduate Arts Award. With this generous grant, she moved to Ireland to pursue an MA in Irish Traditional Music Performance at the University of Limerick’s Irish World Academy of Music and Dance, graduating in 2014. She also taught for BA and MA music programs during her time in UL (and continues to when possible). Currently, Joanna teaches music, and performs with a variety of projects including The Hydes, named New Group of the Year 2017 by the LiveIreland Awards, and the transatlantic trio, One for the Foxes, which was awarded 2021 “Album of the Year” by the ACLSR (American Celtic Listener-Supported Radio) Music Awards. Joanna also composes, arranges, and performs in a duo with her husband, Tadhg Ó Meachair, with whom she is currently collaborating on an arts audio documentary for Cork County Council. Tadhg Ó Meachair PIANO · PIANO ACCORDION A graduate of the Irish World Academy at the University of Limerick, Tadhg has established himself as a force in the world of traditional Irish music. An All-Ireland piano title win is among the various awards for piano, piano accordion, and accompaniment that have cemented this fact in the minds of the traditional music community. As well as being a founding member of the multi-award-winning band Goitse, touring extensively across four continents, he has performed on a variety of stages around the world to huge crowds and esteemed audiences; from Ireland’s National Concert Hall to Music Crossroads in Zambia and from the Festival Interceltique de Lorient to a garden party hosted by Uachtarán an hÉireann, the President of Ireland. Tadhg has not only made a name for himself in terms of his performing career. In recent years, he has recorded on many albums and worked with singers and musicians alike, including collaborations with legendary singers Aoife Clancy and Seán Ó Sé. He was also chosen by none other than Dónal Lunny to be the pianist in his ‘Lorg Lunny’ project which was recorded for an eight-episode TV series and culminated in the formation of the band Ciorras. Tadhg has also taught extensively at festivals across Europe and can teach a variety of classes from piano and piano accordion, to accompaniment classes for a range of accompaniment instruments. Having grown up in an Irish-speaking home, and having studied the Irish language to University level, he has even been known to teach a few Irish or ‘Gaelic’ classes.

This is an introduction to drawing architecture, as well as objects that have straight lines, in an urban sketching context. This class builds on the Intro to Urban Sketching class (but can also be taken on its own). Urban sketching is the practice of on-site observational, idiosyncratic, or impressionistic drawing and painting, usually in the form of sketchbook pages, using portable art media. In short, it's drawing what's around you, and using your direct experience to create a (usually) small artwork on-site, in the moment. Our territory will be the Wicker Park neighborhood, in and around instructor Laura Noble's art studio in the historic Flatiron Arts Building. We will gather at the studio at the start of class for an intro and demo about using linear perspective in drawing, and answer any questions you may have. Then we'll venture out nearby to enjoy and sketch indoors and outside, as you like. We may explore local coffee shops, bookstores, rooftops, parks, architectural views, nature trails, and other unique spaces and views. We will compile portable artworks that can be a collection in themselves or fodder for future studio paintings. Sign up for just one session, or get a deal when you sign up for more sessions (see schedule). Note: some extra spending money (maybe $15-$20)may be useful, in case you'd like to sit and sketch in a cafe or restaurant. It's good manners, and there are some lovely places whose food and beverage is worth trying! (must be 21+ to buy alcohol, of course). You are not required to sketch indoors, and there are many wonderful outdoor locations we'll visit, in addition to the established businesses, such as bookstores and cafes. And always make sure your supplies and gear is easily portable, and appropriate for outdoor weather.
