Grey Larsen and Paddy League combine their Celtic music forces for the second album they have released together, Dark of the Moon.  The album is dominated by the sweet Irish flute music from Larsen, who although from Cincinnati, is an accomplished Irish flutist.  The Oberlin Conservatory of Music graduate recently published a 500 page tome called The Essential Guide to Irish Flute and Tin Whistle.  Larsen studied traditional Irish songs with County Sligo flutist Josie McDermott, on of which appears on the album in her name.  The stripped down album features the flute and tin whistle as well as the harmonium, bodhrán and guitar.  It is a simple record of enjoyable songs that will give you a new appreciation for Irish wind instruments.

Dark of the Moon was released by Sleepy Creek Music on November 3.
