With the help of Grammy-winner Paul Horn, Millar has created a stunning fusion of music and history that draws on memories of Ireland, old family tales, and historical records of the devastation and mass emigration that came in the wake of the Irish Potato Famine of the mid-1800s. Spirited jigs, reels, and melancholy ballads call out from a time that would never be forgotten as the boats left Ireland behind for a new life in Canada, the U.S., Australia and New Zealand.
