Although coming from diverse musical backgrounds, and residing in different parts of the globe, the members of Comas found in each other a similar approach to music, and have brought together their many cultural influences to forge a unique blend of traditional Irish music that literally had them, within months of coming together, playing on Major Festivals in Ireland; Belgium; France; England; Denmark; and Holland.

When you hear Comas you’ll know their choice of name was no mere coincidence. Translated from Irish Gaelic as power, which is exactly what this band is about.

Fiddle player, Aidan Burke comes into his own, delving deep into his Irish roots to pluck out a pure sound that transcends time and place. Burke’s dexterity is evenly matched by the awesome talents of Isaac Alderson (flutes, pipes), Philip Masure (guitar), and Anna Colliton (percussion).

Skye Theater is at 2 Highland Drive. Tickets are $15 at the door. For reservations, call 207-562-4445.
