Runa takes a contemporary and refreshing approach to both traditional and modern Celtic music. This vocal and instrumental band fuses music from Ireland, Scotland, Canada, and the United States to create a pleasing, unique sound. The ensemble features vocals, guitar, percussion, mandolin, and fiddle, as well as some less common instruments like the bodhrán. Runa recently released its third album, "Somewhere Along the Road," receiving critical acclaim that hailed Runa as "an inspired group." Its repertoire is diverse, comprised of both energetic romps and graceful, acoustic melodies.
Runa performs Saturday, August 2, at Lovin' Cup, 300 Park Point Drive. 8 p.m. $20. Lovincup.com; Runamusic.com.
