An Dochas, Gaelic for "The Hope", specializes in Irish music
with a World beat. Formed in the late summer of 2001, this
five-piece musical ensemble from Colville, Washington, fuses
Irish music with other genres ranging from rock to jazz. A
driving rhythm section of guitar, bass, and drums supports an
array of traditional instruments including the Uilleann pipes,
whistles, Bodhran, and fiddle. With a strong instrumental
base, the band integrates some vocal numbers of both comic and
serious nature. Using traditional and original music in their
sets to accompany strong, hard-hitting Irish dancing, An
D≤chas provides an energetic and uplifting performance that
appeals to audiences of all ages and musical preferences.
For the past several years, An Dochas has had the privilege to
work with the Haran Irish Dancers. Together they have
performed for sold-out audiences throughout the Northwest. On
the road, An Dochas travels with a select few of the dancers.
Two of the dancers have recently qualified and competed in the
World championships and three of them have traveled to Japan
and Austria to perform.
There are many exciting opportunities for An Dochas and the
Haran Irish Dancers this year. The group has a DVD scheduled
for release in the Fall that will feature footage from two
live performances by the group with a thirteen-member dance
show. An Dochas is also in the studio recording their second
CD, an independent release scheduled to be out in the Winter
of 2006. Their cd "Dragonfly Redux," is a rerecorded
rereleased version of their first cd. The "Redux" album has
two additional tracks as well. For more information please
