Tunes to warm your midwinter spirit. An eclectic, very original collection of beautiful seasonal arrangements by this popular acoustic trio.
Bio / Background
Acoustic trio Banshee in the Kitchen offers a winter feast with the release of their fourth album, INVITE THE LIGHT: WORLD MUSIC FOR WINTER (Speirbhean Records, 2006). The touring band, based in Bakersfield, California, transcends their trademark New Celtic sound, infusing an eclectic array of seasonal tunes with fresh insight and beauty.
Banshee in the Kitchen brings all the right ingredients to the seasonal mix of Invite the Light, creating an ambience that welcomes winter and warms the spirit. It's among a small handful of new seasonal albums to make the Echoes playlist in 2006.
- John Diliberto, Host-Producer of Echoes
the music soundscape heard on 130 public radio stations and at www.echoes.org
INVITE THE LIGHT charts new territory for the Banshee. From lesser known Christmas carols to haunting Jewish melodies, the album pays musical visits to France, India, England, Ireland, Los Angeles, and a living room in Aurora, Colorado.

“We have wanted to make a holiday album for longer than we’ve been us—Banshee in the Kitchen, that is. True to Banshee form, the result is eclectic, born of our diverse spiritual paths and shared sense of the season as a time when light emerges from darkness. … we chose devotional and festive tunes we loved, adding a touch of romance and sadness to round out the midwinter picture.” - liner notes, INVITE THE LIGHT
