Together as Draíocht, Michael Rooney and June McCormack have recorded three CDs: ‘Draíocht’ and ‘Land’s End’ and their third studio album ‘Tobar an Cheoil’, will be launched July 10th with a live performance at the Irish American Heritage Museum. With over 55 minutes of music, ‘Tobar an Cheoil’ offers a fourteen-track album with a difference, a mixture of traditional tunes and features twelve of Michael’s original compositions.

Moloney and Sloan analyze the fractured alliances of post war Black and Irish communities as they challenge each other for land, jobs, and status. They demonstrate the collision of African and Irish cultures as they encounter each other on the American stage through examples from pre and post war minstrelsy, the Jim Crow era, burlesque and vaudeville, turn of century Tin Pan Alley and film and Broadway between the two world wars.
