Formed in 1996, Paul Baker, Peggy Goonan-Baker and Richie Reece bring an eclectic collection of music to the stage. From true-to-heritage traditional music to contemporary pieces, Brigid?s Cross is a never-ending show from start to finish. Audiences are pulled into a vortex of humor and pure musical sound that keeps fans coming back for more.
It has been a road of evolution for Brigid?s Cross since their first festival performance at the Riverfront Irish Festival in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, almost a dozen years ago. In that time, BC has performed at festivals all over America and in Ireland. On either side of the "pond," audiences have come to expect a high-energy performance and are given it without fail. It is an ensemble, featuring an array of voices and instruments that take center stage for a solid show of entertainment. A little bit of family politics can seep into the on-stage banter, too. You see, Peg and Paul are married, and Richie is their nephew. Add in Peg?s father, Dick ?The Rooster? Goonan for a song or two, and the lineage of music comes full circle.
The good news is that Brigid?s Cross shows no signs of slowing down in the near future. With a freshly released CD, ?Shake The Tree?, listeners get the expected traditional tunes as well as several original songs. It is a different, introspective look into the creative side of Brigid?s Cross that is a departure from previous albums of more well-known Irish music. One honors an uncle?s partying ghost. Another gives a nod to a community that has overcome nature?s wrath and found the strength to rebuild. It is another example of the intimate relationship Brigid?s Cross has with its audience and family.
