Traz

Traz

We're always keeping an eye out for new music and it does not get much newer than Traz, a young Dublin group making a stir on the indie-folk scene. They may still be in their Leaving Cert year but they have certainly honed their song-writing skills. We caught up with them in their rehearsal room to record some tracks exclusively for Blue.

Blue of The Night Sessions...

Over the years the Blue of the Night has had some fantastic musicians join us in studio to share their songs and stories. Rather than let these gather dust on the apocryphal shelves of lyric, follow the link above to listen and watch some of the sessions we've recorded.
