Victoria Adiiye & Dáithí Sproule - There but for Fortune CD

New.  

A beautiful collaboration between acclaimed Irish guitarist Dáithí Sproule and singer, guitarist, and composer Victoria Adiiye, There but for Fortune blends traditional Irish songs with original compositions, showcasing exquisite guitar work, rich vocal harmonies, and thoughtful arrangements. Recorded in both Ireland and Minnesota, the album reflects a long-standing musical friendship and explores themes of home, travel, memory, and the connections that endure across time and distance. A must-have for fans of contemporary Irish folk music and masterful acoustic musicianship.

This album is, above everything, a record of a friendship. A collection that grew from years of playing together — the recent ones from across an ocean. It is music about movement: about rivers and journeys, about love and leaving, about the places that stay with you long after you’ve gone. It’s a theme that was never far from our minds even when we lived in the same place — and one that feels more alive than ever now that we don’t. Derry and Donegal, Uganda and Massachusetts, Minnesota and Cork — the tunes and songs here live in the spaces between all of those places, and in the friendships that made the distances worth crossing.
