Boiled in Lead will be in concert at the New York Mills City Hall Ballroom July 30, at 8 p.m. This is the third performance in the One Hot summer series presented by the New York Mills Regional Cultural Center and Arts Retreat.
This band was hailed in a March 05 review in The Onion, as a hard-driving blend of Irish folk, punk rock, and world music creating an explosive show.
They describe themselves as innovators bringing "folk music" kicking and screaming to rock audiences (and rock music to screaming folk audiences!) BiL's many instrumental dance tunes incorporate global influences, rhythms, and melodies that are guaranteed to keep the feet moving. Original songs stick in the mind long after the music is over.
The players improvise freely yet stay in sync, playing a vital mix of original and traditional material that sounds fresh and highly identifiable. The group and the individual musicians have won over 20 Minnesota Music Awards, and toured throughout the US and in Europe. The band's current line up sees the return of original lead singer Todd Menton the addition of masterful guitarist Dean Magraw, and loads of new material to play.
Thanks to an exclusive contract your only opportunity to see Boiled in Lead within a 60 mile radius for 45 days is here in New York Mills. Don't miss this exciting group. This event is sponsored by a Circle of Friends who love the arts and card games on Thursdays.
