“"Hazel Wood" is a song that's sure to create a fire in the head...once you hear it, it will burn through your psyche. And it's one of the few newly minted songs in the Irish/Celtic genre that has staying power of Silly Wizard's "Queen of Argyll."
Multi-talented Canadian singer-songwriter-composer of the Irish folk group, Damanta, Elegwen Ó Maoileóin wrote: The line for Hazel Woods was stolen by Yeats as well from mythology — it's a very old line, the fire in the head, from the druids.
The group Damanta's name, is derived from an old Irish word, Damned. It means damn or deadly, which is way 'cool' in Ireland. They say, "Tá damnta é," "He is deadly." Elegwen says the band name came from a Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill poem.
Various members of the group hail from Vancouver, Belfast and Dublin Ireland. Check out "Alive on Pentecost." It's a bit like Ashley MacIsaac and Planxty, Tannahill Weavers and Silly Wizard all rolled into one. Damnta fine.

“The sean nos (acapella) lament opens with a compelling violin intro reminiscent of the wild gypsy solo strains of Fiddler on the Roof, and prepares us for a journey to the Irish Otherworld where anything is possible.
"On the banks of Lough Graney I saw the past inviting me...[a ghostly king] showed me how to love the land, and make Ireland my home...and every dream will soon unfold on the banks of Lough Graney." Perfect for your upcoming Celtic holidays playlist.
A departure from songwriter Steven McClintock's Top 40 song hits and movie scores, Lough Graney, is a brilliant addition to the ever evolving Celtic genre. Lough Graney just won second place in the John Lennon Songwriting Series Music Contest. Way to go, Steven.”

“Nothin' like Grace Slick crooning this one... One time we snuck into her house near the Haight, The front door was unlocked. Both it and the wooden portico columns were painted black, so was the living room. Black. There was a shiny black baby grand, some red roses, a homemade sunken hot tub covered in tiny tiles the color of the sky... Grace crabbily shooing us teenyboppers out. We wandered into the kitchen, someone took toke and the white rabbit found Alice. Now the pills that the Red Queen mothers gave us did a lot more than open the doors to our minds... Feed your head! Yeah. Ya hadda be there...”

“Hey, my mom was at that concert! Jefferson Airplane used to live in Woodacre and they had a toy biplane hanging from a live oak in the driveway...we used to ride by on our horses and twirl the twin props. yeah, we knew all the lyrics in every dimension. Keep on Groovin on. ”

“This album is a nice Amie Street find. The vocals may immediately made me think of the Indigo Girls.”

“This is a home-grown California breeze, beating your heart for you, mingling in the vineyards, overlooking the ocean kind of music. Long time fans of The Orange Peels know... get this song free, then buy the rest here or on iTunes! Absolutely beautiful. It's beautiful. It's beautiful like a new home.”

“This is one of brightest songs ever. I am a HUGE fan of David Hopkins. He recently recorded a song with Damien Rice on a new album "There Are Debts" (itunes).
He has consistently put out only good albums and this is a good album.”
