About Kevin Doyle's Roscommon Soles
Roscommon Soles is a dance-driven ensemble whose concert sets literally move with the music. Kevin Doyle sets the rhythm with signature jigs, reels, hornpipe, and tap dance, joined by sister Maureen Doyle, Amara Grant as a young Wiliam Henry Lane, and select youth dancers from the Kelly School of Dance. Providing the tunes that underscore the songs, steps, and stories or stand on their own as exquisite solos or driving ensemble melodies are All- Ireland Sheila Falls on fiddle, Bob Drouin on bouzouki, Joey Abarta on the uilleann pipes, and Joshua Kane on flute and whistle with a special guest solo by Caroline Vitale, granddaughter of long-time Roscommon Sole Mary Lee Partington.
Roscommon Soles’ artists have numerous appearances, recordings, and projects that speak to the unique collaboration that is the Roscommon Soles. For concert, festival, coffeehouse and bookings in educational settings, visit kevindoyledance.com
