Talisk Runs the House at Irish Fest 23 – Live Session
Hailing from Scotland, Talisk, a dynamic three-piece ensemble held court at Irish Fest and set the tone for a powerful evening at the capped-out Miller Light stage at the iconic Crown Center. Easing into a set that soon brought the crowd front of the house to get the full effect of the trio’s powerful musical offerings. Though based on traditional Celtic Folk Music, I PROMISE this is anything like we’ve ever heard and the eclectic mashup of sounds Talisk brings of traditional songs juxtaposed with tinges of power Rock, punk, and heavy bottom delivered an irresistible call to the crowd to get to their feet!
Fiona Bloom of The Bloom Effect who put Talisk and me together for a live session interview before their performance, had the best seat in the house…check out the proof of what I’m saying about the show and crowd acceptance via Fiona’s eyes below:
