- Solas is an Irish-American musical group formed in 1994, playing Irish traditional music as well as original compositions, sometimes demonstrating an inclination towards Country music in recent albums. Their name comes from an Irish word meaning "light". At the time, the band was made up of Séamus Egan, who had already recorded two solo albums as well as a soundtrack to a film; Winifred Horan, a member of Cherish the Ladies; John Doyle, previously a member of The Chanting House with Egan; Karan Casey and John Williams. Their first performance was in Georgetown University's Gaston Hall in Washington, D.C. in 1995. Solas received national exposure on American Public Media's A Prairie Home Companion in May 1996. That same year, they recorded their first album and, in October, toured the U.S. A second album followed in 1997 and several members of Solas appeared on Karan's debut solo album as session musicians. Following their second album, John Williams left Solas to pursue a solo career to be replaced by Mick McAuley. In 1999, between the releases of The Words That Remain and The Hour Before Dawn, Karan left for a similar purpose and was replaced by Deirdre Scanlan. John Doyle left after the release of The Hour Before Dawn, being replaced by Donal Clancy. Clancy left after the release of The Edge of Silence, and was replaced by Éamon McElholm. In June 2008 the band announced Mairéad Phelan had joined the group as their new singer.
- De Amerikaans-Ierse traditionele folkband Solas werd in 1996 opgericht door Séamus Egan, overige leden van de groep waren Winifred Horan, John Doyle, John Williams en zangeres Karan Casey. Bij hun muziek maakten zij gebruik van banjo, gitaar, diatonische accordeon en bouzouki. Later verliet Karan Casey de groep en werd vervangen door Deirdre Scanlan. Karan is de vrouw van concertinaspeler Niall Vallely en heeft nu haar eigen band. In 2006 vond ter ere van het tienjarig bestaan van de band in Philadelphia een reünie plaats waarin de voormalige en huidige muzikanten met elkaar een cd en dvd produceerden. Folkband Solas heeft nu als bezetting: Séamus Egan: gitaar, banjo en fluit Winifred Horan: viool Mick McAuley: diatonische accordeon en fluit Deirdre Scanlan: zang Eamonn McElholm: gitaar
